Anthony Nomar Garciaparra; born July 23, 1973, in Whittier, California) is an American baseball player who is currently a free agent. He previously played as the designated hitter for the Oakland Athletics, first base and third base for the Dodgers, and shortstop and third base for the Chicago Cubs, after several years as an All-Star shortstop for the Boston Red Sox.

His full name is Anthony Nomar Garciaparra, but he began going by Nomar when he was a child after there were too many Anthonys in his class. Nomar is his father's first name (Ramon) backwards and his last name is his father's last name (Garcia) and his mother's last name (Parra) together.
