Remembering Nomar Garciaparra’s two-grand slam game against the Mariners
Nomar Garciaparra takes a curtain call as he comes out of the dugout to tip his cap to the cheering fans following his second grand slam, which was his third home run of the game.In his recap of the Red Sox 12-4 victory over the Mariners on May 10, 1999, the Boston Globe’s Gordon Edes cited the 1,000 days of John F. Kennedy’s presidency in his description of Nomar Garciaparra. The then-25-year-old shortstop was, according to Edes, “playing in a town that understands that his tales of youth and promise, hope and glory, will shimmer long after he leaves the antiquated stage that is Fenway Park.”
