Red Sox Great Nomar Garciaparra AnnouncesRetirement

Nomar Garciaparra will retire today as a member of the Boston Red Sox.

To do so, he will sign a 1-day contract, as currently he is not a member of the team.

After leaving Boston, Garciaparra experienced numerous injuries and at the age of 36 has decided to pack it in.

When retired, he will join ESPN as a baseball analyst, as many former baseball players tend to do.

“After years of enjoying the privilege of playing this great game wearing Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, and A’s jerseys in front of truly amazing fans, today I’ve decided to end my playing days,” Garciaparra said in an ESPN news release. “I’ve been blessed to have had a long career as a player and feel fortunate to continue this great journey as a member of the ESPN team.”
