I don't usually watch pre-/post-game, but I've been a DIEHARD fan of Nomar Garciaparra since he was drafted by the Sox (he's actually the reason I became a Dodgers fan) and I don't recall anyone -- ever -- calling him "Nomie" before hearing Stephen Nelson call him that tonight.

Absolutely pouring here in Western MA today, so probably won't be putting on my Aqua 8s, but I just want to send my thoughts to Jaylen's family. Can't believe it's been 5 years already...
Yeah, but they're a little schmaltzy since the whole experience is based on a movie, not real life or anything. Like @651akathepaul says the Williamsport game was pretty good. This is still miles better though, imo.
This is the best sports broadcast Fox has presented in probably 30 years, if not ever.
Really impressed by everything tonight, from the Reggie interview during pre-game to all of the details about the park, the stories about the Negro League players and teams, the retro production for that half...
