He is a member of one of the sport's most notable families of the late 20th century, being the son of famed first baseman and manager Felipe Alou. A mainly offensive player who admitted himself that he was not particularly strong on defense, Alou was never a serious Hall of Fame contender, but his career was noteworthy in several respects nevertheless: He was a six-time All Star and a vital contributor to the 1997 Florida Marlins World Series Championship.
