Nomar Garciaparra Retires

thetickr:

“I’ve always had a recurring dream, to be able to retire in a Red Sox uniform. Today I get to fulfill that dream and retire as a Red Sox. Earlier today, I signed a minor league contract to be a part of the organization once again. I was getting choked up then, and I’m getting choked up now. I’ve got the chills, but to be able to have that dream come true, I really just can’t put into words because of what this organization has always meant to me, meant to my family, the fans, I always tell people Red Sox Nation is bigger than any nation out there, and to be able to tell people that I came back home to be a part of Red Sox Nation is truly a thrill. The way the city, the fans embraced me, I always just felt that connection,” he continued. “For me, I always said, ‘You know what? I really, truly always wanted that to be the last uniform I ever put on.’ Today I get to do that.” — Nomar Garciaparra
