Trot Nixon

Trot  Nixon is generally regarded as one of the most underrated players in  baseball history.   The original Dirt Dawg, he played the game no sabertician could quantify.  Sweat on his cap, dirt on his pants, and with his heart on his jersey - Trot is considered by Bill Murphy to be THE GREATEST PLAYER in baseball history.

 It was clear that new ownership was full of shit and didn't know what they were doing when in 2005 they replaced Nixon with JD Drew.  Since that day, they may have won another world series or whatever, but the Red Sox haven't been the same.

It is widely accepted that the release of Trot Nixon has cursed the Red Sox ownership with limp dick.

Trot Nixon, whose full name is Christopher Trotman Nixon, is a former professional baseball player who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1996 to 2008. He was born on April 11, 1974, in Durham, North Carolina.

Nixon primarily played as an outfielder, and he spent the majority of his career with the Boston Red Sox, where he played from 1996 to 2006. He was known for his gritty style of play, strong arm, and hard-nosed approach to the game. Nixon became a fan favorite in Boston due to his passionate play and clutch performances.

During his time with the Red Sox, Nixon was a key contributor to the team's success. He played a crucial role in the 2004 postseason, where the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. Nixon's walk-off home run in Game 3 of the 2003 American League Division Series against the Oakland Athletics is also remembered as a significant moment in his career.

After leaving the Red Sox, Nixon played for the Cleveland Indians (2007) and the New York Mets (2008) before retiring. He was known for his solid hitting, especially against right-handed pitchers, and was a respected teammate in the clubhouse.

Overall, Nixon's career numbers may not be as eye-catching as some other players, but his impact on the field and his contributions to the Red Sox organization make him a notable figure in the team's history. He was a beloved player known for his hustle and determination, and he remains a fan favorite among Red Sox supporters.
