Farewell Trot
When I bought a Red Sox jersey to wear to the games in 2000, I didn’t even have a moment’s delay when deciding which one to wear: it was Trot Nixon’s #7. I’ve worn that jersey over a hundred times in the Fenway bleachers since then. And now, Trot has signed with the Indians. I can only wish him the best of luck.
Trot was my favorite because he plays baseball like a hockey player; he was the original Dirt Dog. I can’t wait to go to a Cleveland game this summer and give him a standing ovation.
Here’s Trot warming up in right field, taken from my seat in 2004:
