From Peter Gammons' column in ESPN.com today:
- Nomar always said he loved the buzz and the passion of Boston, but on the other hand he could not deal with the notion that, as Mike Barnicle once wrote, baseball is not a life and death matter, but the Red Sox are. After seeing what's happened to some of his firm's clients, one very wise agent said that if he ran his own company and one of his players from Southern California wanted to sign east of the Mississippi or north of the Mason-Dixon Line, that the player would have to hire another agent.
I recognize that Oakland isn't Southern California, but if the shoe fits . . . .
