It's offical: Baseball Superstar Nomar Garciaparra & Soccer Gold Medalist Mia Hamm to Tie the Knot

Boston's most eligible bachelor is off the market.

Nomar Garciaparra 29, has popped the question to his soccer sweetie Mia Hamm 30, and the two are tying the knot 'sometime in the next two years.'

'It's true, we got engaged over Thanksgiving,' Nomar told The Track.

'People want to know when and where we are getting married, but you know what, I dont even know those details. We're just really happy right now and really enjoying our time together.'

No. 5 who was in town last week for a string of charity appearances, was pretty stingy with the details.

But we did manage to pry out of him that he asked Mia for her hand the old-fashioned way-down on one knee.

Nomaaaaa.

[ewing]

LOL! That is a funny sketch..

[rabidralph]

So she dumped her Marine pilot for some multimillionaire baseball player? Proof again of how tough it is to make ends meet on a military paycheck.

[Semper Paratus]

Nomaahh better not ask for a pre-nup or she'll kick his ass.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Nomar must be a little light in the loafers over there at shortstop. Mia Hamm is a man, baby (Austin Powers voice).

[William McKinley]

I chuckle every time I think of the fact that Nomar's parents named him Ramon spelled backwards. I wonder if Mia's parents chose her name the same way?

Mia Hamm is hot! (in a she-could-kick-my-ass kind a way)

None of this matters. The only sports news that matters today is that the Mets signed Tom Glavine. (yeah baby!)

The real question is:

Will Clinton bring Demi to the reception?

[ewing]

LOL!

[ewing]

NOOOOOOO!

SNL is going to be funny this week with Deniro..

She may be a great athlete, but "hot" is not exactly the adjective that best describes Mia's beauty, if'n you ask me:

Regarding Glavine, you have my sympathies---I think the Mets overpaid. I played HS hockey against Glavine and he dinged one on me. He was a hell of a hockey player too.

Ooohfah! That’s a rough photo of the girl. I’ve seen much better ones.

Regarding Glavine, you have my sympathies---I think the Mets overpaid.

It’s not my money. Steinbrenner overpays people too, but he’s got a bunch of WS trophies to look at.

Nomar!

(He seems to have put on some weight.)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Mia Garciaparra, meet Anna Monopia.

[ewing]

Norm!

Nothing beats love; except love in bloom.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

NORM!!!
