Career
Almanzar was involved in an infamous incident involving some Rangers teammates and Oakland Athletics fans on September 13, 2004, that ultimately resulted in teammate Frank Francisco throwing a chair into the stands and hitting a fan, causing her to suffer a cut. He was suspended briefly for the incident.[1][2]
On October 4, 2005, Almanzar, who had missed most of the 2005 season due to a torn elbow ligament that required Tommy John surgery to repair, was suspended for 10 days by MLB authorities for failing a steroids test.[3] He indicated that he would appeal the suspension.
In 2008, Almanzar did not play for any team during the regular season, but did play for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League where he was 2–0 with a 1.80 ERA after 6 appearances.
Personal life
Almanzar's son, Michael Almanzar, is also professional baseball player.[4]
