God forgives, you are forgiven.
He was arguably the best or top 2 shortstop in the league for like a 7 year stretch in the late 90s and early 2000s yet i never hear his name brought up in anything 
It's kind of crazy how quickly nomar garciaparra has been forgotten

Should Never Mention Me
His squad dropped him and then won world series', and he was retired and commentating while his contemporaries in A-Rod and Jeter produced for almost another decade.
Its Bostons job to celebrate him and they dont because they finally broke through after him

I only know him from when he was at a Monday night Raw show & the Rock had him on camera. Othewise, I Wouldn't know his name. Oh, and he was on an episode of the Disney show the Jersey. Like @Don Rhymus said, once he left his team won the series... That's gotta burn the soul.
I think he made an appearance on SNL in the sketch Jimmy Fallon & Rachel Dratch.

He was always better than Jeter
By the time that trade happened he was already broken down sadly
5 rings and a better career will do thatAsk most folks about shortstops and Jeter will be the first name to come to mind
Jeter literally became the face of a damn position.
He doesn't get his props like he should but I think a lot of that is cause he got injured a lot as he got in his mid 20's and the fans are so fickle that they will forget about you in a heartbeat. Nomar probably would have been headed to the Hall without the injuries and I would have liked to see how his numbers would have stacked up with Jeter's and A-Rod's if he could have stayed injury free.

Hate the Red Sox, but Nomar was that dude. Was fun watching him, Jeter, and A-Rod, and Tejada all play SS.
His prime was great, unfortunately it was a short one. Once Boston dropped him, he never was the same (injuries

Nomar's first 7 seasons .328/.375/.562/.937. That OPS and SLG is first among SS in their 1st 7 seasons OF ALL TIME. A-rod was close with .934 OPS and .561 SLG.
He still ended with a .313 average after the "falling off". But even during the "fall off" he was batting .280. Nomar was a monster.

Empire strikes back
he was getting injured big time after the roid era was closing in...he was always a good avg/obp hitter, but injuries did him in. I remember he came back for one really good year with the dodgers....and then was basically done

They tried to claim that roids shyt on the big hurt also but then he went to the a's and beastedROIDS BROKE HIS BODY DOWN.
THEYRE TRYING TO ERASE EVERYONE FROM THAT ERA.
