NOMAR GARCIAPARRA BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
Anthony Nomar Garciaparra (born July 23, 1973) is a premier shortstop in major league baseball today. He's also a very popular player, especially in Boston, who can't get enough of their beloved "Nomah!" He was born in Whittier, California.
Nomar, whose name is the reverse of his father's name "Ramon", was a first-round pick of the Boston Red Sox in 1994 following a successful career at Georgia Tech. At the time, Boston had a talented shortstop patrolling the position in John Valentin, who finished 9th in MVP voting in 1995. Nomar's talent was just too good for the Sox to pass up, and Valentin was moved to 3B to make room for Nomar, who showed good power in his first tryout with the club, near the end of 1996. It was a tune-up for an outstanding rookie year in 1997, where he hit 30 HRs, drove in 98 runs, led the league in hits and was second in extra-base hits. He was named Rookie of the Year in a unanimous vote, and finished 8th in MVP voting. He also won the immediate admiration of Red Sox fans. With his hard work and attitude, not to mention his catchy name, his popularity has easily stretched well beyond "Red Sox Nation." |
