Nomar G Revisited
Sometimes I think of a player that I've kind of forgotten and will check them out on baseball-reference. Today was Nomar Garciaparra. I totally surprised myself when re-discovering how good he was. Wow, .313 lifetime hitter, .521 slugging, .882 OPS at shortstop, 6-time all-star, 2-time batting champion. Career derailed by various injuries so no chance for HOF, but some kind of player he was. Even though his career totals fall short, his 7-year peak WAR is right on par with HOF shortstops. Look at those 162-game averages, pretty salty. He definitely belongs in my "Hall of Very Good".

He was truly a superstar that was lost behind AROD greatness.
Of course he had Jeter geting the media love in NY also.
I am glad you showed this.
