Ex-Met Embroiled in $15 Million Sex Lawsuit

Former Met Roberto Alomar, the great second baseman with 10 Golden Gloves and 12 All-Star appearances, is being sued by a former girlfriend for $15 million. The charges? The Daily News reports that Queens resident Ilya Dall claims "Alomar has full-blown AIDS but insisted on having unprotected sex."

Dall says she lived with Alomar for three years and "watched in horror as his health worsened." The Post points out Dall's "suit does not claim that he knew he had AIDS when they were having unprotected sex - but he had reason to think he might because his doctors kept advising him to be tested." After some health issues, Dall claims a doctor told him to get an HIV test in 2005, but Alomar allegedly refused and said he was fine. From the News:

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 and the plaintiff 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.

Another claim in the lawsuit: "In April 2005, Alomar told Dall he was suffering from erectile dysfunction and confided 'he was raped by two Mexican men after playing a ballgame in New Mexico or a Southwestern state when he was 17.'" Dall, who says she tested negative, is suing for damages from "emotional distress."

Alomar, who won World Series championships with the Toronto Blue Jays and is remembered for spitting in an umpire's face while with the Baltimore Orioles, retired from baseball in 2005 for health issues, but his lawyer said, "We believe this is a totally frivolous lawsuit. These allegations are baseless. He's healthy and would like to keep his health status private. We'll do our talking in court."

poor guy. this is appalling. How would you feel if you had been sleeping with someone who was HIV positive? She may be negative now, but it can still develop down the line. I feel so sorry for both of these people. No-one deserves this, ok, maybe Madoff.

Sorry, but it doesn't even seem that she is HIV positive (unless I missed it). What the hell is her injury???

So I'm guessing she was a gold-digger all along? She was girlfriend, not wife. No strings attached. She could have crossed her legs and said no, or simply got out of bed and walked if he refused. Why did she stay so long and freely have this unprotected sex if she had a problem with it? I say ZERO for her and her gold-digging lawyers.

Round 8

(In an electronic information age

Greek tragedies come in all forms)

I pick up the ringing telephone

And it’s instant madness

Who’s that! Who's that! He yells

Infuriating to think who would call me

as his footwork moves him closer to listen

Rage pounds behind his eyes blinding him

In possessiveness choking off

Any meaningful communication

He regards me as an ornament

of conquest to do with as he pleases

I try and dismiss this round of threats

with a practiced turn of my back

Hoping to ignore the impending drama

The way boulders in the middle of rushing streams

succumb to the waters constant slap

Merely enduring immutable nature

Get off the phone! He spits through

a mouth tightly drawn like a boxer

waiting to finish with a brutal flurry

Thumbs tighten over knuckles white

in fisted manic rage

My body still bearing fresh marks

Bruised and beaten oozing pinkness

in spots like the colour

of a cat which alternately licks

and then bites until it is frantically raw

I squat in a darkened corner holding

onto the phone as if it were a life line

of polite conversation and escape

Hoping he will never check my e-mail

His eyes dog me like a thief

The scent of oppression and terror

always in my nostrils

He stands there like a conqueror

waiting for me to stroke his body

and then bend my

being to its hardness

How many times has he jerked some dress

over my head leaving me without face

A perverted pleasure of hateful excavation

I can taste my fearful breath

and it sickens me like sour milk

And in that instant I can see

a mare lying in the snow

Strangled by it’s own umbilicus

which is still attached to the foal

while life bleeds away

into coldness as stark and real

as wiping my own blood

from off the porcelain bathroom tile

Wrong number I say arising and walking

cautiously past him as if at the end

of another round when pugilists halt

their feral beatings by agreement

Always wary and on guard as I

calmly replace the receiver

waiting for the next combat to commence

And he believes he has won again

Never really seeing my eyes

or the slight smile of resolve

like an empowered Clytemnestra waiting

to slash out of that shadowed space.

If you deliberately spit on someone in the street, can't you be charged with assault? The law really does only apply to the peasants.

fakenewyorker

this is a very grim story. this woman and her lawyer have no shame.

BigNick

It has been alleged that the umpire called him an unflattering term for a homosexual and that's why he spit in his face.

I remember back in the early 1990s when he was on Toronto, he had this wholesome image and appeared in a McCain's frozen french fries commercial in Canada.
