BOSTON (Oct. 11) - Nomar Garciaparra rescued two women who had fallen into Boston Harbor, his uncle and a witness told the Boston Herald.

Garciaparra, the former Red Sox shortstop who played for the Chicago Cubs last season, was in his Charlestown condominium with his uncle Friday night when they heard a scream and a splash, said the uncle, Victor Garciaparra.

As soon as the two-time American League batting champ ran out the door to help the woman, her friend also fell in, hitting her head on the pier, said Victor Garciaparra, who oversees his nephew's business and charitable ventures.

Victor Garciaparra jumped from the balcony to the water 20 feet below.

More. A great read, a great ballplayer.

1. Must be a trend amongst shortstops.

Alex Rodriquez saved some kid from getting hit by a car not long ago.

I always liked Garciaparra. Good on him.

2. He is one of the very few that

reminds me of the 'good old days'. I was born and raised as a die hard baseball fan but now I hardly watch it any more.
