A Few Minutes With Nomar Garciaparra
Nomar Garciaparra is in Chicago for the Red Sox series and took a few moments to meet with the media this morning.
Will you get your World Series ring this weekend?
Yes, I'll be receiving it this weekend. I haven't gotten it yet...I'm was excited when I found out I was receiving one and I'm still excited about seeing it and getting it.
Is is particularly painful to not be able to play this weekend?
It's painful. My groin hurts. I would love to be out there playing right now. It's not just the Red Sox being in town, but dealing with this injury.
How special was it for you to play in for the Red Sox and their fans?
It was extremely special. I've said this all along, I have unbelievable memories, and I still have amazing friends and close ties over there that I will always have....I realized something about myself that I have a big heart and that place will always have a big place in my heart. Somebody up there is looking after me - I've been pretty blessed to play in two wonderful, wonderful cities. Now I'm here which is a wonderful place with great fans..
