You forgot to add that the Sox did let him throw out a ceremonial first at the spring training game yesterday. Someone asked me if anyone booed him at the park. I heard no boos from my seat and everyone was on their feet clapping and cheering for him. It was a very good feel good moment for Nomar and the fans.

Loved it! That little girl is precious and I loved her giggles during the tea party.

Now we need the Red Sox to retire his number!
(thanks for the tears, I need to start the day this way)

I could not wait to get to the park today and see if Nomar was going to be in honored in some way. I immediately heard he was throwing out the first pitch but there was a little kid throwing out the first pitch. Then we could see Nomar down by the photographer’s well wearing his #5 jersey and I felt very emotional.
Announcing that his former Georgia Tech teammate would be catching him was icing on the cake.
We cheered loud and long for him today and he deserved it. I felt honored to be there to see him in person. It was a good day even though the Sox lost.

Thanks Cyn, as soon as I saw the news blurb this morning I was looking forward to what you would post about this. I have lost count of the times I have sat crying at a “former” Sox returning to Fenway for the warm and wonderful greetings that you all down in Boston give them.

Extremely disappointed we didn’t get a putting on of the jersey shot – but still thrilled that this happened!

Comment on Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot by Cyn

I know from experience that it’s easy to overlook that the photos don’t just appear onto the Internet and I DO think that most people do it unconsciously and without any kind of malicious intent. It’s just that after bringing this up repeatedly in different venues, I’m surprised when the veteran bloggers still do it.

Thank you for this post. I am considering writing a blog (not about baseball) and find myself puzzled about this. You gave some very practical guidelines concerning the attribution of photographs.
