Roberto Alomar is another player in Blue Jays history that will never be forgotten. Especially for the jump he did over Philadelphia Phillies Darren Daulton, a play that will be recognized for its courageous and dare-devil act. Kiermaier is a player that is comparable to Alomar. Both players are known for their aggressive play. As well as being players who aren’t afraid to take risks and sacrifice their bodies to make great plays.
