===Cleveland Indians=== [[File:Roberto Alomar in Oakland-82 (cropped).jpg|thumb|right|Alomar with the Indians in [[Oakland Coliseum|Oakland]]]] On November 24, 1998, Alomar signed a four-year contract with the [[Cleveland Guardians|Cleveland Indians]], joining his All-Star brother, Sandy Jr. It was in Cleveland that Alomar had two of his finest seasons. In 1999, he hit .323 and set career highs with 24 home runs, 120 RBI, 138 runs, 99 walks, a .422 on-base percentage and a .533 [[slugging percentage]]. In 2001, he batted .336/.415/.541, with 20 home runs, 100 RBI, and 30 steals.<ref name="bbref"/> Cleveland made the playoffs in 1999, [[1999 American League Division Series|losing in the ALDS to the Boston Red Sox]]; in 2001, they again made the playoffs, but [[2001 American League Division Series|lost to the Seattle Mariners in the ALDS]]. Alomar finished third in [[Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award|AL MVP]] voting in 1999 and fourth in 2001.<ref name="bbref"/> On the field, Alomar teamed with [[shortstop]] [[Omar Vizquel]] to form another decorated middle infield combination. The Vizquel-Alomar duo won three consecutive Gold Gloves together, becoming one of just eight shortstop-second baseman duos to have accomplished this feat in the same year. Alomar was traded to the [[New York Mets]] before the 2002 season, for pitcher [[Billy Traber]] and [[outfielder]]s [[Matt Lawton]] and [[Alex Escobar]].<ref name="bbref"/>
