Nomar Pics

A pure class act Nomar is....

The Chicago Cubs and their fans didn't waste any time making Nomar Garciaparra feel at home, even if he didn't get to wear No. 5.
The new Cubs shortstop, acquired Saturday in a four-team trade, was made comfortable at breakfast Sunday at his Chicago hotel. He made several new friends by signing autographs after batting practice, too.

When he was introduced to the crowd before the game, the Cubs faithful welcomed him with a standing ovation. Garciaparra thanked the fans by doffing his cap.

"At the same time, going out to breakfast this morning people were telling me 'Welcome to Chicago' and that was great as well and takes the sadness away and brings a smile to your face," Garciaparra said. "You say, 'Hey, this is a wonderful place to be,' and I think I knew that coming in."

Enjoy the pics, hope to have more as the day goes on.
