Anthony Nomar Garciaparra (born July 23, 1973, in Whittier, California) is an American baseball player of Mexican descent who currently plays first base for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Previously, he played shortstop and third base for the Chicago Cubs, after several years as the star shortstop of the Boston Red Sox.
Garciaparra was part of the so-called "Holy Trinity" of shortstops that debuted in the mid '90s, which also included Alex Rodriguez (now a third baseman) and Derek Jeter, who were considered the best shortstops in baseball. Of the three only Jeter remains a shortstop.
Garciaparra is married to Olympian and World Cup Champion soccer star Mia Hamm and the couple welcomed twin girls, Grace and Ava on March 27, 2007 in Los Angeles.
