He stole 227 bases, including a career-high 39 in 1971, when he led the American League with 689 at-bats and 739 plate appearances, and took part in one playoff series with the Yankees in ’76.<\/p>\n Alomar went into coaching in San Diego’s system in the ’80s and was the Padres’ third-base coach from 1986 to 1990.
