Nomar Garciaparra through the years
The Globe's Dan Shaughnessy describes Nomar's first at bat in an opposing uniform at Fenway Park: Last night Garciaparra came back to Fenway for the first time in five years. He was showered with even more love, just as he was for his entire Red Sox career. When he stepped into the box to face John Smoltz at 7:27, you would have thought Bill Russell and Bobby Orr had been introduced. The standing ovation was long and loud.
