My Take
Roberto Alomar is the name I reach for whenever I want to talk about defense as art. Widely regarded as one of the greatest second basemen ever, he was that rare five-tool player who could hit, run and field with equal grace. The stack of Gold Gloves tells only part of it; what stays with me is the calm, almost casual way he turned hard plays into routine ones. I have always been drawn to elegance over spectacle, and his glovework was elegance distilled. His Blue Jays brilliance is rightly enshrined in Canada. Craftsmanship at the keystone, pure and simple.
