He was traded to the Blue Jays the following off-season, leading the team to three consecutive American League Championship Series appearances and being named the 1992 ALCS Most Valuable Player, culminating in back-to-back World Series championships in 1992 and 1993.

The son of Santos "Sandy" Alomar Sr. and María Velázquez, Alomar grew up in a baseball family. He and his older brother Sandy Jr. were raised by their mother, due to their father's major league career. When school in Puerto Rico was out for the summer, they joined their father, who let his sons hang around the clubhouse, shag fly balls, absorb the game—especially from his New York Yankees teammates, such as Thurman Munson and Graig Nettles. Growing up, Alomar idolized José Cruz, both of whom were second basemen. In 1985, Alomar signed with the San Diego Padres at age 17, joined the team's Class-A affiliate, the Charleston Rainbows; the following year, playing for the Reno Padres, he won the California League batting title with a.346 average. Alomar made his major league debut on April 22, 1988 against the Houston Astros, recording a hit in his first at bat, off of Nolan Ryan. With the Padres, he established himself as a solid hitter and baserunner, defensively, he displayed excellent lateral range and a powerful arm making spectacular plays on ground balls hit deep in the hole between first and second base, on balls hit up the middle, well behind second base.

He became an All-Star as a reserve player for the National League. On December 5, 1990, Alomar and Joe Carter were traded to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for Fred McGriff and Tony Fernández, it was in Toronto that he developed into a premier offensive second baseman, combining a.300-plus batting average with power and high end speed on the bases. In 1991, he capitalized on his speed with 11 triples and 53 stolen bases, leading the team to its first of three consecutive playoff appearances; the following year, he scored 105 runs, drew 87 walks, had a.405 on-base percentage. In 1993, Alomar had his best season with the Blue Jays, producing 17 home runs, 93 runs batted in, 55 stolen bases, while batting.326, third in the American League behind teammates John Olerud and Paul Molitor. He was a central figure in Toronto's World Series championships in 1992 and 1993. Alomar's game-tying, ninth-inning home run against Oakland relief ace Dennis Eckersley, in Game 4 of the 1992 American League Championship Series, is considered by many as the most important hit in the club's history, as the team's three previous trips to the ALCS had ended in disappointment.

In 1995, he played 104 consecutive games without committing an error, setting an AL record for second basemen. In each of his five seasons with the Blue Jays, Alomar was named to the All-Star team and won the Gold Glove Award. On December 21, 1995, Alomar signed with the Baltimore Orioles at a time when Toronto was looking to rebuild, while Baltimore was improving into a pennant-contending team. In Baltimore, he paired with Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. to form a formidable double-play combination. Alomar appeared in the playoffs in 1996 and 1997 for the Orioles, hitting a series-winning home run in Game 4 of the 1996 American League Division Series, although the Orioles were defeated in the ALCS both years.

"Engel" is a song by German Industrial metal band Rammstein. The song was released as the first single from their second album Sehnsucht. An English version of Engel can be found on US special editions of the Sehnsucht album; the female part of the chorus of the song is sung by Christiane "Bobo" Hebold of the German pop band Bobo in White Wooden Houses. While Lindemann and Flake are in the audience in the video, Paul Landers can be seen taking Schneider's place by playing the drums and Kruspe and Riedel are seen singing; the video references From Dusk till Dawn. A regular during the Sehnsucht tour, it was used as the last song of the main set in non-festival concerts. In the first months of the Mutter tour, "Engel" appeared in the setlists sporadically, but became a regular again in November, continued as the last song of the main set until the end of the tour; when performed on stage, flames shoot into the air, Schneider's drumsticks would shoot sparks. On the'Live aus Berlin' shows, Bobolina joins Rammstein to sing her parts from inside a flaming cage, instead of the usual pre-recorded chorus used in most of the shows.

After missing the entire Reise, Reise tour. This time around, vocalist Till Lindemann sang the chorus instead of Bobo's pre-recorded lines. For the pyrotechnics, Lindemann wears a set of angel wings that shoot flames from the tips and that have sparks go off along them.
