Nomar Garciaparra Retiring Wednesday After Signing One-Day Deal With Red Sox

Nomar Garciaparra is once again a member of the Red Sox ... but just for one day. The former Boston shortstop will announce his retirement from baseball as a member of the Red Sox Wednesday morning.

Garciaparra was a five-time All-Star in Boston, won Rookie of the Year in ‘97, and finished second in MVP voting in ‘98 to Juan Gonzalez (who we all know did things the all natural way back then). His career was up-and-down and injury-plagued after leaving the Red Sox, but to Boston fans he’ll certainly go down as THE GREATEST SHORTSTOP EVAH AND NOBODY DENIES THIS. He nevah won a ring with Bahston but Nomah was always there fah us in spirit!

For more on this story, and all thing SAWX, head over the SB Nation’s Over The Monster (which is the GREATEST BASEBAWL BLAHG EVAH!)

*We apologize for the gratuitous mocking of Boston fans. Haters gon hate.
