Nomar Spring Training Update
Major League Baseball : News : Major League Baseball News: "Hot hitter: Nomar Garciaparra is having a great time. The sun is shining, the shortstop doesn't have any unusual aches or pains, and he's 10-for-22 this spring.
'I'm having a lot of fun,' Garciaparra said Tuesday after going 2-for-3 against the Royals. 'Baseball's a lot of fun. You have weather like this every day and the sun's out, you've got to enjoy yourself.'
Garciaparra is aggressive and doesn't take too many pitches.
'I've done that my whole career,' he said. 'When I step in the box, I want to believe I'm ready, ready to go out there and get a pitch I can drive.'
He thought he drove one out of HoHoKam Park on Tuesday in the fifth, but the ball bounced over the fence and was ruled a ground-rule double. "
