How should Nomar Garciapparra best be remembered from his days here in Boston?

As one of the Red Sox all-time greatest hitters and a foundation of the franchise.

As a pouting malcontent on the bench while his teammates were locked in a 13-inning marathon game against the archrival Yankees, which the Sox eventually lost, 5-4, on July 1, 2004.

As a guy who never seemed to feel comfortable in the spotlight that followed him during his days with the Sox.

As Mia Hamm’s husband.
