Alomar Jr. named Catching Instuctor

[NJMetfan4life]

Like father, like son: Sandy Alomar Jr. spoke often last summer of his desire to eventually become a baseball coach, and he's now taken the first step toward that goal. The Mets on Friday named Alomar the club's new catching instructor, replacing Tom Nieto, who will coach first base.

Alomar batted .139 in limited duty with the Mets last season, during the final leg of a career that saw him win the 1990 Rookie of the Year Award and play in six All-Star Games. His father, Sandy Alomar Sr., is the team's third-base coach.

Two Alomars, both coaches on the same team, your thoughts?

Two Alomars, both coaches on the same team, your thoughts?

Father and son coaches on the same team may be a first in MLB history. I wonder even how many pairs there have been separated by time.
