Trot Nixon: The road back to the Majors

Not offered salary arbitration by the Red Sox, who had signed J.D. Drew following the 2006 season and boasted Wily Mo Pena as a potential fourth outfielder, Nixon signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Cleveland Indians in January of 2007. He wore the No. 33 in tribute to the age he turned that April.
