Nomar Garciappara received his World Series ring on Friday during batting practice. After spending parts of 8 1/2 seasons in Boston, Garciaparra was traded to the Chicago Cubs last July and missed the Sox winning the Series. But Garciaparra was still scheduled to be recognized for his contributions to the championship, even though he wasn't around to enjoy it after a less than amicable departure. "I don't think there's really any need for it to be a public thing, especially here," said Garciaparra, who's on the disabled list recovering from groin surgery.
