Nomar Garciaparra That guy rocked.

Over 6000 career plate appearances and not once were his batting gloves ever tight enough!

Crazy that you cant post over a minute of great nomar highlights and none of them are even of him fielding or baserunning, which were his two biggest strengths lol the man had the highest peak of any shortstop i've ever seen. I'm so sad he wasnt on the 2004 squad.

“What was it like when hitting .300 was actually valued?”

One of my favorites, I was crushed when they traded him. WS made up for it, but I still wish he could have been there for it. That guy rocked.

I loved watching him, but can you imagine him trying to get through that routine with the pitch clock? He'd have to take every other pitch. lol

He sure did. He is my favorite-ever Red Sox player.

Lifelong Sox fan here. Disagree. Was a big fan until I saw his puss face on the bench (self imposed because of contract negotiations) at Yankee Stadium as Jeter went face first into the stands to catch a foul ball. I had a perfect view of the play and the visitor's dugout from the first base side.

He was so good - trading him kindve left a bad taste, really wish he was on the team when they won

Loved his rituals. 😂

Nomah!

absolutely loved Nomar. one of my top 3 Red Sox of all time. damn shame he didn’t get to hang around for the title in ‘04.

I'm glad he wasn't around when I was memorizing batting routines as a kid.. lol

I’m a BoSox fan but I loved when Jeter imitated Nomar in the All-Star game

I would take Nomar over Trevor today... Let's bring him out of retirement

Until he sucked, became a primadonna all about his contract and got cut by the team which allowed them to win their first world series in 86 years. Should have never gotten the world series ring .Never will be a Hall of famer. You can say he helped the '04 team in that way though

What no defensive highlights?

My Favorite Player number 5 it was shitty he got traded when he did

My first favorite player

@maggieerogers That SS class in the 90s is goated. Nomar, Jeter, A-Rod, sprinkle the defensive wizardry of Rey Ordonez, Edgar Renteria. What a time

@gabbymaljanian Not really, Because of his habit of unbuttoning and buttoning his batting gloves while I’m the batters box started an epidemic of wanna be (delay in pace)‘ in youth baseball. Warning issued, then automatic strike called for delays.😎😎

One of my favorite Red Sox of all time. I hated the way it ended in Boston.

You mean "Nomaahh"

Every 90’s kid Red Sox fan favorite player

Baseball in the late 90's/early 2000's was truly epic. So was the Nolan Ryan era...

If he didn't have the wrist injury he'd be in the HOF.

How many pitch clock violations?

@ThatGuyRocked until he didn’t

Nomo hitting him in the wrist ruined his career

Nomah!!

Ngl as an extremely superstitious young athlete loved the ritualistic at bat routine (pro pitch clock now don’t attack me)

He is the start of the pitch clock debate IMO and therefore I hate him

So god damn good

Still my favorite player of all time

In their prime Nomar better than Jeter
