From Boston.com:
Baldelli on wearing Nomar Garciaparra’s and George Scott’s No. 5:
It was brought to my attention that obviously this has always been a special number in this town and I recognize that as much as anybody. It was brought to my attention that there was a possibility that I was going to be able to wear it. It being the number that I have worn my whole career. I accept it and I think it’s great and I am very happy about it.
