I knew Nomar was a good guy... it goes to show you that it's not ALL about the money for EVERYONE (ahem...Damon).

From a globe article: One of Garciaparra's ex-teammates in Boston said the Dodgers and Yankees made the same offer, but Garciaparra chose LA because, ''He always considers himself a Red Sox. That's one thing people don't understand about Nomar. He would have never signed with the Yankees because he always thought of himself as a Red Sox player."
