Roberto Alomar, the All-Star second basemen who played major league baseball for seven teams over a 17-year career, is being sued by a former girlfriend who claims he had unprotected sex even though he knew he had AIDS. I think a good response here is HOLY SHIT.
In papers filed in state and federal court, Dall said Alomar finally got tested in January 2006 while suffering from a cough, fatigue and shingles. “The test results of him being HIV-positive was given to him… on or about Feb.6, 2006,” the $15 million negligence suit says.
Nine days later, the couple went to see a disease specialist who discovered a mass in the retired second baseman’s chest, the court papers say. Alomar’s skin had turned purple, he was foaming at the mouth and a spinal tap “showed he had full-blown AIDS,” the suit says.
Man, I don’t know about this story. It’s kind of a lot to handle first thing in the morning. AIDS, dude. What do you do when you find out someone you know has AIDS? I mean, besides get tested. Do you call them? Do you send them a card? “Don’t get worse soon”?

“What do you do when you find out someone you know has AIDS?”
– I think that depends on if you’ve slept with that person or not. And also if you’re the one who gave it to them.
Personally, I would handle that news the way I handle all bad news – totally ignore it and hope it goes away.
He’s not just sure he has AIDS, he’s HIV positive.
Nice title, Matt. You should take the rest of the day off and spend it making smart ass comments on the internet.
I’ll bet that Ump he spit on is literally shitting his pants right about now.
At the very least I’d bet he’s already made an appointment with his Doctor.
This weirds me out, and I don’t even have AIDS. I mean, I’m pretty sure I don’t. It’s been a couple months since I’ve been tested. So technically… Oh my God, but what if… fuck, I totally have AIDS.
/sprints to hospital
I hate waking up next to a girl with purple skin who’s foaming at the mouth. (silently prays he used a condom)
You left out the part where he was raped by 2 mexican men after playing baseball in new mexico when he was 17.
If i took an AIDS test everytime that has happened to me, I’d never have any spare time to hang out at truck stops at 2am.
No DAP on the tip?
Wheres the love?
Not a good sign for those old Brady Anderson/Robbie Alomar gay sex rumors
Remember those long gone days from summers past when waking up next to someone with purple skin and a foaming mouth just meant she had some bad heroin and all you had to do was hide the body?
We were all so young and innocent once.
@ Merk: New Mexico.. Pretty much the same as the old one
How much would the lawsuit before if she actually caught the AIDS? $15 million is a lot for not getting AIDS.
Come on everybody we’ve got quilting to do! We’ve gotta break down these barricades, everyone has AIDS!
a spinal tap “showed he had full-blown AIDS,”
So his white-blood cell level was at 11?
@ Dr. Do-itch Big: Back up there, maestro – there’s a “New” Mexico?
jesus, didn’t this guy spit in an umpires face about 6 years back, wow that could be awful backlash depending on when he first contracted the virus
Maybe the girlfriend just meant that he has people who help him. Or that he stocked up on the 80s diet medication.
/humming “Streets of Philadelphia”
Jesus Christ almighty, If I got 15 million for every time I had an aids scare and went and got tested I’d be a frigging billionaire!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s denying that he’s sick, and this woman has not tested positive for either HIV or AIDS.
Sounds similar to every story involving me vacationing in Puerto Rico.
