It's actually easy to forget at this point that Nomar is even still in the league.

Gotta say, I was shocked when they traded Nomar, I thought positive and looked at how it could help (defensively) but I always liked Nomar so it was tough. Theo earned my respect for his actions, and I don't care what he does to my team, I will support it. He's earned it with the two rings. It was one of the best moves in the history of MLB.
Still, shows the class of the Sox by giving him a cut of the WS winnings, and a ring. He did help them get there afterall even if he wasn't on the roster when they buried the curse.
