Nomar Garciaparra Wiki Biography

  • Anthony Nomar Garciaparra was born on July 23, 1973, in Whittier, California, USA, and is a retired baseball player who played shorts for the Boston Red Sox, as well as third base and first base for the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers of the MLB, in a career spanning 1996-2009. 
  • It has been estimated, according to reputable sources, that Nomar’s net worth is as high as $45 million, earned via his fruitful career as a baseball player, during which he has received many awards, including the AL Rookie of the Year in 1997. 
  • Nomar went to St. John Bosco High School, becoming a baseball star, so he was drawn by the Milwaukee Brewers out of high school, but after graduation, he enrolled at Georgia Tech University, where he played for the University Baseball Team, which reached the College World Series title game but lost to Oklahoma University. 
  • In the 1994 MLB Draft, he was drawn to the Boston Red Sox in the first round; however, he appeared for the first time in the junior league season, before making his debut in the main league squad in 1996 against the Oakland Athletics. 
  • Since the first game, his dominance started, winning the Rookie Award that year, as well as the Silver Slugger Award and the All-Star Award. 
  • Over the next few years, he dominated both offensively and defensively, becoming one of the strongest Red Sox players, but in 2001 he wounded his wrist, which kept him on the sidelines for a large part of the season. 
  • However, his defensive numbers decreased, and he still managed to perform well above average game numbers. 
  • His career in Boston came to an end in 2004, when he was traded to the Chicago Cubs, but he didn’t remain there for a long time, playing just one season, and again fighting injury, this time a torn muscle in his left groin. 
  • In 2006, he moved to the clubs again, signing a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which kept him with the team until 2009. 
  • Although Nomar played the first base with the Dodgers, his form started to come back and, as a result, he won a place in the All-Star Game in 2006. 
  • He also received the NL Comeback Player of the Year Award. 
  • At the end of his deal, he signed a one-year contract with Oakland Athletics, which also improved his net worth. 
  • After a season in Oakland, he returned to Boston and signed a one-day deal with Red Sox to retire as part of the Red Sox franchise. 
  • Nomar finished his career recording 229 home runs, a batting average of 313, and an RBI of 936. 
  • He was chosen six times for the All-Star Game, and he was also twice the AL batting champion in 1999 and 2000. 
  • He was also inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. 
  • Nomar’s net worth has benefited from his career as a commentator and analyst, joining ESPN in 2010, and has since contributed to a number of network programs, including “Wednesday Night Baseball” and “Baseball Tonight,” among others. 
  • As far as his personal life is concerned, Nomar has been married to Mia Hamm, a soccer player who won gold medals in both the World Cup and the Olympic Games since 2003; the couple has three children.
