From: Big Dog
Subject: Top Ten Reasons Why Nixon's the One
to be Elected Red Sox Captain Right Now.
10. It would give us all a small emotional and psychological lift as this
disastrous
season winds down, and some hope for 2002.
9. Trot plays hard, he plays hurt, and never whines or makes excuses.
8. Nomar, the only other possible candidate, has enough to worry
about.
7. He's already the Dirt Dog Captain.
6. He's a great role model, family man. And his wife Kathryn is an
absolute
sweetheart.
5. He is a true American Patriot.
4. His helmet says it all.
3. He rises to Roger.
2. He's a Carl confronter.
1. Naming his son Chase no doubt represents Trot's commitment to
chasing down
a World Series championship for the Olde Towne
Team.

Special thanks to Gordon Edes for
reprinting this list in his "Notes" column in the Boston Sunday Globe on
September 23rd. His intro to the list follows:
"A perfect 10
He's known in local baseball
Internet circles at The Big Dog, he lives in Brighton and runs a Web site
devoted to the Red Sox (bostondirtdogs.com), and as a passionate fan of the
team, he was looking for something positive to latch onto in the midst of this
truly dreadful season. So that's why he sent along this list to yours truly,
as a welcome antidote to all the negative stuff. We run it here with his
permission".
Thanks for the plug Gordon. Much
appreciated.
