Jim Rice Day
July 29th, 2009
Last night was Jim Rice day at the Fens. This was long over due and a very nice moment. Got to love how 35,000 people get to their seats a half hour early to watch the ceremony. But one of the more touching moments was when Rice took time out to walk over to Nomar, whom he saw giving him a standing ovation and give him a hug.
Then later on in the game, Rice was on the telecast talking about how him and Nomar where great friends (rice was his hitting coach for 5 years) and how he always reminded him of himself. Nomar continues to get praise from most ex-sox players, and from what I can see it is rightfully so.
