Ryan ProvencherHOST
Who were some guys that you were coming up with that maybe are like anyone in the system at the time that people might know of or-
Steve LomasneyGUEST
Nomar Garciaparra, Trot Nixon, Lou Merloni, um, Varitek when he came over.
Steve LomasneyGUEST
Uh, I, I was, I was part of that, that mid-'90s, uh, group of Boston Red Sox guys.
Ryan ProvencherHOST
So I was talking to Mickey earlier about how, you know, compared to other states and parts of the country, you have your California's, Texas, Florida, just hotbeds for baseball.
Shimon LyonsHOST

Chris ScheimPANELIST
both.
Stacey GotsuliasHOST
And then the rest of the game remained scoreless [laughs] and the Yankees ended up winning.
Stacey GotsuliasHOST
And the feeling I had watching this game, even though I was home, uh, was very similar to that game when I was in Yankee Stadium, because I was also at the game May 28th, 2000 when Pedro went up against Roger Clemens and there was a zero-zero tie until the top of the ninth when Trot Nixon hit a two-run home run, and the Yankees ended up losing that game.
Stacey GotsuliasHOST
So when I see low-scoring games like this and I see both teams struggling to score, almost scoring, things happening, it...
Stacey GotsuliasHOST
I almost have, like, baseball PTSD from that game on May 28th, 2000 all these years later, 26 years later.
Gary ThorneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It is not a concentric ballpark in any sense of the word.
Rick SutcliffeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Probably the most difficult right field in all of baseball to play, as you look at part of the problem in front of Trot Nixon.
Gary ThorneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That's the triangle in center field.
Gary ThorneSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The crew of umpires working this game, we have mentioned the home plate umpire who gets his first start in a League Championship Series game, Alfonso Marquez, Daryl Cousins, Joe West, Angel Hernandez, Tim McClellan, and Terry Craft.
6 MINS LATER
Rick SutcliffeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It pays off.
Rick SutcliffeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A difficult fastball up and in.
Rick SutcliffeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You see the difficulty Trot Nixon had with that.
Rick SutcliffeSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But even though Trot didn't have a good grip on it, when he let go of that throw, he put the cutoff man into play, keeping Garcia at first base.
Joe TorreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, emotionally, he was fine.
Joe TorreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I thought he was in, you know, pretty good control of himself, but, but he'd gotten some pitch count problems, especially to, to Trot Nixon, got behind in the count and then threw him a fastball, and Trot Nixon can hit a fastball on Christmas Day.
Joe TorreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, he's, he, he's killed us.
Joe TorreSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
That whole ball club, I mean, when you, when you think how many games we've played and how evenly we're matched, um, I, I hate playing them.

John AndersonHOST
How about we go to the second, Kev?
Kevin FrazierHOST
No score.
Kevin FrazierHOST
Clemens on the hill, 2-0 pitch to Trot Nixon, and he says, "Groove me." Trot gets every bit of that.
Kevin FrazierHOST
Nixon's fourth homer of the postseason.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I think it doesn't, John, because the three series they played have been bunched together so closely that the edge is taken off.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Trot Nixon hits a ground ball to second.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Knobloch fields, throws inside, and that'll do it.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Now, the ground ball was taken by Knobloch near first, so he could throw easily to-
32 MINS LATER
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The one-one to Nixon is fouled, and they put it off Posada who whips around.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the count one and two.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
When it comes down to these Sammy Sosa sweeps based on sources that told me that the right side of movement Now here, John, if a deal is put together, the Red Sox would be willing to include Trot Nixon.
John Sterling and Michael KaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, uh, with the Red Sox deal and a lot of people in baseball feel nobody can give a player of that level.
Bryan JoinerHOST
So I just, my ...
Bryan JoinerHOST
The, the story aspect of this and also, like, how grizzled people get into these organizations [laughs] and ultimately in Trot Nixon's case probably just reject, mutually rejected them.
Bryan JoinerHOST
'Cause Trot Nixon is as backwoods a North Carolina person as there is.
Bryan JoinerHOST
I think he would say complimentary.
Bryan JoinerHOST
Um-
