148. David Ostrowsky: Roberto Alomar, Other Fallen Stars, & The Dilemma of Idolizing Athletes

The Baseball Bucket List Podcast

David Ostrowsky is a Red Sox fan and author from the Boston area. In this episode, Anna and David explore the nostalgic charm of Fenway Park and the early 2000 Red Sox, as well as David’s latest biography on Roberto Alomar. Alomar, a once celebrated Hall of Famer known for his remarkable career as a second baseman, has recently faced a downfall due to serious allegations, leading to a ban from baseball and erasure from its history.

Anna and David delve into the challenging aspects of idolizing athletes and the struggle fans face in separating athlete’s professional achievements from their personal failings. They also share their thoughts on the All-Star Game and Home Run Derby, and their shared longing for the return of team uniforms to the midsummer classic.
