Feliz Cinco de Mayo mis amigos! What better time to talk about the greatest Red Sox player to ever adorn the number 5 than on 5/5? If you’ve read anything I’ve written then I’m sure you’ve come across the beaming positivity I have for Boston’s legendary shortstop, Nomar Garciaparra. I won’t lie, this is going to be a massive appreciation letter to Nomar, and rightfully so.
Boston’s former shortstop is also of Mexican-American descent, so we’ve got another tie-in to the celebration of Mexico’s victory of the French in the Battle of Puebla.
So, back to my original premise, what better time is there to celebrate the man that carried the Red Sox while wearing the No.
