Some baseball longing

I love baseball, and every year right around now (now being the day after the patriots are out of the patriots) I start longing for spring training.

So, here's a baseball themed post.

One of my favorite Red Sox players, Trot Nixon, is no longer with us. Boo. He was a hard player, and he came up through the Red Sox farm system as well. He was never a superstar, perhaps, but he did give his all everyday, which is maybe why he ended up on the DL so often. Now he plays for the Indians. I guess we did owe them something for Manny.
