Former White Sox catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. is back with the Cleveland Indians.
The popular former All-Star catcher has been hired by new Indians manager Manny Acta as a first-base coach. Alomar spent the past two years as a catching instructor for the New York Mets. He will mentor Cleveland's catchers.
Alomar played 20 seasons in the majors -- five with the Sox, 11 in Cleveland -- before retiring in 2007. While in New York, he served on the same coaching staff as his father, Sandy Alomar Sr., who was the team's bench coach.
In his five seasons with the Sox, Alomar hit .257 with 19 home runs. The 43-year-old Alomar was a six-time All-Star with the Indians. With Alomar behind the plate, Cleveland won five AL Central titles and made two trips to the World Series.
