I still haven't forgiven you for starting the 1999 All-Star game over Derek Jeter, but then again, that was because your fan base had (and still has) nothing better to do than to stuff ballots. (Speaking of DJ, how hot is the pic above?!)
Nomar Garciaparra signed with the Boston Red Sox today...then retired.
"From the first day I had the thrill of putting on a Red Sox uniform and playing in front of all the great fans at Fenway Park, I have felt at home in Boston," the future ESPN analyst said. "While I had the privilege of playing with other legendary teams, I always saw myself retiring in a Red Sox uniform."
"I always enjoyed playing against Boston because of Nomar," Derek said. "I used to enjoy being mentioned with him."
Alex Rodriguez, never one to miss an opportunity to convince the world people actually do like him, ran over to Derek's locker where reporters were gathered and chimed in: "I love Nomar. He's a great player and a friend."
On another note, hearing that Nomar has retired from his 14-year-career makes me feel OLD. It feels like yesterday Derek, Alex and Nomar were the Holy Trinity of A.L. shortstops!
