Nomar was absolutely one of my favorites. The talk shows were still trying to
badmouth him Monday, saying they didn't think he was sincere with his pre-game
comments. I think he is sincere and seemed to appreciate the ovation.

The unanswered question is was he a juicer and did this contribute to his quick
downfall, or was it just injuries? I still appreciate all he did, including
the 3 HR game I saw (the one on his birthday).

with his departure and the subsequent WS championship, we finally learned it
takes a team to win a title, not a star or two. Ask Yaz, Clemens, etc. It wasn't
Nomar's fault the Sox had to start Kent Merker and a hurt Saberhagen against the
Yankees in the playoffs.
