Roberto Alomar

* The last line of your Oct. 2 editorial about Roberto Alomar’s spitting at an umpire ends, “the basic sportsmanship that baseball’s overseers have ignored.”

Does anyone really think that professional athletes, team owners or managers care about sportsmanship? Nonsense! Win, any way you can, but win. Cheat, fake, act out, anything, just win.
