Nomar to retire as a member of the Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox site won't come up - I'm not surprised. Go #5 - you always were a class act.

I'm not a fan of these 1-day retirement contracts, but I'm glad you're happy Nomar came back to the fold. I heckled him unmercifully when the A's played the Dodgers on Father's Day 2005 ("No-maaaaaah! You left yer heart in BAWSTIN! NO-MAAAAAAAH!"), and he responded by hitting a home run.

Bastard. A's won, though :)

Here's to you, No-maaaaaaaaaaaah.

I dunno, I'm a fan of them in the right circumstances, like this one. He didn't leave because he wanted more money - he was traded away, after being a true franchise player for this team. It was right that he retire as a Red Sox. YMMV, of course. :D

And yeah, I am a HUGE Nomar fangirl - I admit it. Not quite as big as my boy Tek, but very, very close. ;)
