All-Aughts Team of the Decade SS: Nomar Garciaparra

With the close of the decade, it’s time to look back at the decade that was; the decade that completely changed the face of the Red Sox.

We’re going to be creating a full 25-man roster and create the Red Sox Team of the Decade. Today, we’ll take a look at shortstop, with Nomar Garciaparra doing the honors as our shortstop of the decade.

Look at what Nomar meant to Boston. An entire generation was weaned on Nomar. He provided a homegrown electricity to the team. Between him and Pedro Martinez, Boston was a team to watch.
