Nomar Garciaparra, the former Six-Time All-Star Shortstop, Two-Time A.L. Batting Champion (1999, 2000), and 1997 A.L. Rookie of the Year, signed a One-Day Minor League Contract with the Red Sox in order to throw out a ceremonial first-pitch to his former teammate (at both Georgia Tech and with the Red Sox) Jason Veritek, and then retire as a member of his old club, the Boston Red Sox.
In a day and age full of "what have you done for me lately", it is so nice to see General Manager Theo Epstein, Owner John Henry, and the entire Boston Red Sox organization understand that there is in fact, a heart underneath all those uniforms, and do what is right in remembering one of their greats with this fitting farewell.
