An announcement was made on Wednesday, February 5, 2014, that Nomar, along with former pitchers Pedro Martínez and Roger Clemens, and the longtime radio announcer Joe Castiglione would be inducted into the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame. The journalist had a gag cameo as himself in a rare non-sports appearance on the October 14, 2000 episode of Saturday Night Live.
The show itself had referenced Nomar during 14 sketches named The Boston Teens. It stars Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch. The two played a pair of Lexington, Massachusetts teenagers. Jimmy Fallon and Rachel Dratch were avid fans of the Boston Red Sox; in particular, they called their favorite player “Nomah” and they also sported team shirts.
