Homecoming again for Nixon, Shoppach
07:34 AM EDT on Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Trot Nixon, who spent his entire career in the Red Sox organization before signing with the Indians last winter as a free agent, was an integral part of Boston’s World Series Championship in 2004.
The right fielder has already made a return trip to Fenway as a member of the Indians this summer, but this time around will seem a bit different.
“We all have a special place in our hearts for Trot,” said manager Terry Francona. “But we don’t want to have a seven-day Trot lovefest. We’re here to win.”
Former catching prospect Kelly Shoppach will also return as a member of the Indians. He was traded to Cleveland prior to the 2006 season as part of the Crisp deal.
