Nomar Garciaparra Red Sox jersey sizes?

[Number9]

Now I know players try different jersey sizes, and players get bigger and smaller, but generally there always seems to be a consistency as to what a player wears. Does anyone have any knowledge as to Nomar Garciaparra's game used jersey size with the Red Sox?
I have done a little research and found more inconsistency than any player I can remember. Does not exactly make me real comfortable about trying to find one I am confident he wore. Here are the jerseys I have found with their sizes:

Red Sox (russell jerseys)
1999 road, size 46
1999 road, size 46 plus 3 inches extra length
1999 road, size 48 plus 2 inches extra length
2000 home, size 46
2000 road, size 46
2000 road size 46

2003 home, size 44
2003 road, size 44
2003 road, size 44
2003 red, size 48 plus 3 inches extra length

Pawtucket rehab
2004 blue, size 46 (Rawlings)

Cubs (majestic jerseys)

2004 Cubs road size 46
2004 Cubs blue size 44
2005 Cubs road size 44
2005 Cubs home size 44

Any insight as to his Red Sox years would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Nomar Garciaparra Red Sox jersey sizes?

With regard to his Cubs jerseys, Nomar only wore a size 44 while playing for the Cubs. The only size 46 I've seen was an Alex Gonzalez jersey (who also wore #8 in 2004 before being traded) that someone made up to resemble one of Nomar's first Cubs jerseys. Both home clubhouse managers told me that the team had size 44 jerseys ready for Nomar from day one...so there would have been no need to recycle an Alex Gonzalez jersey, especially in a size 46. To add to your list, Nomar has worn a 46+2 and a 46+1 with the Dodgers in 2006 (thus far).
