Boston Dirt Dogs
Nixon, a first round pick in the Sox 1993 amateur draft, enjoyed a number of highlights in Boston over the last 10 years: A game-winning two-run homer off Roger Clemens in a Yankee Stadium showdown with Pedro in 2000. An 11th inning, two-run walkoff in Game 3 of the '03 ALDS. A takedown of Tanyon Sturtze in the '04 fight with the Yankees at Fenway. And in the '04 World Series, the hard-nosed Fenway fan favorite batted .357 and knocked in three runs. ( Nixon's stats and facts )
