| Boston's Jim Leyritz takes BP |
Waterfront Park, Sec ?
A festive day in Trenton this date. The parent Boston Red Sox were visiting for an exhibition game and bringing short stop sensation Nomar Garciaparra with them. Garciaparra spent the entire 1995 season in Trenton. On this night the Thunder would retire Nomar's Number 5.
The Red Sox became the first major league team to play in New Jersey since the Brooklyn Dodgers played part of their regular-season schedule in the state in 1957. It was the first appearance in Trenton by a major league team since the Washington Senators played the Trenton Senators in 1936.
The big team would go on to win the exhibition 4-3 in an evening when stars such as Pedro Martinez and ex Thunder Trot Nixon and Lou Merloni were on hand.
