I know everything happens for a reason and that the possibility is there that with him on the team there’s no 2007 World Series – nonetheless, Trot Nixon is one player I will always, truly, miss.
Nice to read quotes like this one and know Trot still hasn’t lost his charm:
Trot Nixon had a couple of answers for a small band of hecklers — a two-run homer and a two-run double.
“I guess they were Yankee fans,” the former Red Sox outfielder said after he helped Arizona beat San Diego, 8-4. “If you want to get me right, bring in some Yankee fans.”
Nixon’s shot over the bullpen in right field came off starter Shawn Estes and the opposite-field double off reliever Mike Gardner. He gave the harassing fans a stare as he rounded third and came home after his second-inning home run.
Trot’s still giving “the stare” after all this time. That’s our Trot! 🙂
