I have one card of Karl Allaire, from 1990 CMC.
Playing career: Shortstop Karl Allaire played nine seasons
in the minor leagues, mostly in the Astros organization. In 975 games he hit
.251 with 12 HR and 279 RBI. A fuller account of his career can be found at The Greatest 21 Days.
Where he is now: After his career he became business manager
for a check cashing/pawn shop establishment owned by Daniel “Rocky” Baldelli of
Woonsocket, RI. He helped mentor Baldelli’s son, Rocco, who became a star major
leaguer. In 2014, Allaire was one of thirteen people arrested in conjunction
with a gambling ring run out of Baldelli’s business (Baldelli was not charged).
Allaire was indicted on charges of organized criminal gambling and conspiracy.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is first when you type Karl
Alla, ahead of Karl Allard, a Canadian stock car racer. There do not appear to
be any other prominent Karl Allaires.
Coming up next: The next profile will be James Barthmaier.
Awesome content. That is very informative for all kind of people. I also want to share my exclusive experience with you about the great application of sports gambling. I have won a lot betting on sports with the help of Sport Pick.
ReplyDeletelol, I guess you can't mention gambling in a blog post without getting some spam. I will agree about the awesome content, though.
