With rich, long locks likes that I knew it wasn't going to be long before we saw Nomar Garciaparra in the broadcast booth. The guy is just too damn good-looking. But for ESPNLosAngeles.com? Obviously, like in baseball, the fans must be a little more laid back in Cali when it comes to dissecting a broadcast. Now I'm sure if he were to broadcast in Boston he would do fine at first. Then after a few shows he'd start whiffing on words, cutting off his co-hosts, and just becoming a cancer on set. Of course I'm just kidding, but I think that would be pretty fucking funny.
However, him stepping in the broadcast booth more-than-likely means he will not be putting on his stir-ups for the 13th season. Former Red Sox infielder and WEEI.com’s Lou Merloni has reported that after talking to Nomar Garciaparra, the former Red Sox shortstop is intent on playing in the majors for the 2010 season if the right situation presents itself. Garciaparra said his calf, which has been hindering the 36-year-old for the past few years, feels better now that has in quite some time.
In all honesty Nomar, stay in the booth. You're hair is far too majestic to be hidden under a plastic batting helmet. Playing out your career has only made me think less of you. Since 2003, every season has been filled with injuries, run-ins with teammates, and steroid rumors. He can't afford the media breaking a story about any one the aforementioned dilemmas. So if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
