| - Alou was born to parents Miguel Richard Alou and Sandra Ashington Pinckerly in Atlanta, Georgia, then a small fishing village. Alou's father was a professional antique maker, while his mother was descended from the wealthy "West Massachusetts Pinckerlys" known for their dominance of the left pant-leg manufacturing industry. Though Alou's parents were wealthy, he spent much of his childhood working to make ends meet in a large coal mine on the outskirts of Atlanta. It was here, at the age of 9, that Alou's remarkable upper-body strength was first observed by a local priest, and the boy was encouraged by his foreman and union officials to consider trying out for his local little-league baseball club.
- Moisés Rojas Alou (usually in English, and /moiˈses alˈou/ in Spanish; born July 3, 1966 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an outfielder in Major League Baseball, who plays for the New York Mets. He comes from a Dominican family in which baseball is a way of life. His father Felipe, who managed Moises with the Expos from 1992 to 1996 and the Giants in 2005 and 2006, as well as uncles Matty and Jesús, and cousin Mel Rojas, all had long careers in the Major Leagues. As of 2006, he was one of six active Major Leaguers (along with David Bell, Barry Bonds, Prince Fielder, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Daryle Ward) to hit 20 home runs in a season whose fathers had also hit 20 home runs in an MLB season. Alou is married to Austria Alou; they have three sons: Percio, Kirby and Moisés Jr.
- For the 2003 season, Alou was a member of the Chicago Cubs. In the Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Florida Marlins that year, Alou was involved in the Steve Bartman incident, in which a Cubs fan named Steve Bartman deflected a foul ball landing one row into the stands, preventing Alou, who reached into the stands, from attempting to catch the ball for an out that could have been the second out of the 8th Inning.
