CLEVELAND, Ohio -- For those of us who are seasoned Cleveland Indians fans, it's hard to believe that Sandy Alomar is 49 years old.

Or that it was 25 years ago -- 1990 -- when Alomar began his career with the Tribe.

Now the Indians first base coach, Alomar had a chance to leave to be the bench coach for the Chicago White Sox. He turned it down.

"I thought about it," said Alomar. "But I didn't want to cause a problem."

The next comments tell you so much about Alomar, who has interviewed for several managerial positions in the last few seasons.
