Christopher Trotman Nixon (born April 11, 1974) is an American retired professional baseball right fielder. He played from 1996 through 2008 for three different teams, primarily with the Boston Red Sox. He currently serves as co-host/analyst for "The 5th Quarter," a high school football highlight show on WWAY-TV in Wilmington, North Carolina.
(Next, remarks from Boston outfielder Trot Nixon may have snuck under the helmet and into A-Rod's head.) When people ask me about the Yankees, I tell them about Jeter and Bernie Williams and (Jorge) Posada, ... I don't tell them about Rodriguez.
We feed off our fans.
Every win is big. We're a great team at crunch time, and every win is important. We capitalize to score runs.
