Nomar Hamm Expecting Twins!
November 29th, 2006 by Michael Stephens
Soccer legend Mia Hamm her husband of three years, Dodgers first baseman Nomar Garciaparra, are expecting twins.
Hamm played on the U.S. women’s national soccer team for 18 years. When she retired after the 2004 Athens Olympics, the Wichita Falls, Tx., native had won two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals.
Nomar, meanwhile, sparked the Red Sox to the 2004 title… by being dealt in an 11th-hour, trade deadline megaswap. While he left Boston on bad terms, the Sports Truth’s Red Sox fans who idolized him will always remember the good times, and wish him the best in his future trips to the DL endeavors.
Hamm and the former Boston Red Sox great met at a 1998 charity event and began dating thereafter. They wed in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 2003.
Because of her pregnancy, Hamm recently turned down an invitation to be inducted into the Texas Sports Hall of Fame in February, telling officials she would accept the honor in 2008 instead.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, a rep for Hamm said her doctor advised her not to travel after January because she is due in early spring.
Hamm and Garciaparra live in Los Angeles, where he joined the Dodgers prior to last year and is expected to sign another contract this offseason. Congratulations to the happy couple, and here’s wishing the whole Hamm family a long, prosperous and injury-free life together.
