TROT NIXON
DIRT DOG OF THE YEAR
The original Dirt Dog wins in a landslide. The final tally:
| Player | Votes |
| Trot Nixon | 337 |
| David Cone | 74 |
| Brian Daubach | 70 |
| Mike Lansing | 42 |
| Shea Hillenbrand | 28 |
Trot had a breakout year both with the glove and the bat, on and off the field. And he is one of the few players who is going hard right to the end. We anxiously await his being named Captain of the 2002 team, regardless who the Red Sox sign in the off-season, Jason Giambi included.
Trot's certificate and hat are on its way to him (no money in the budget for a trophy this year).
Thanks to all who voted and supplied supporting evidence for your nominee. Some of your comments follow:
" ...without a question DAUBACH!!! Who else would play with a hurt ankle for a month... and it took a 105 degree temperature to get him out of the game... now that's a DIRT DOG!!!"
"TROT! Every time I uncover my eyes, he's gettin it done!"
"I think Sheahound deserves to be dirt dog of the year... he's my favorite player and I think he's exceeded everyone's expectations. Go Shea!!"
"After Cone and Trot I think my third-place vote would go to Lansing. Definitely did much more and much better than I thought he would when the season began."
"My vote goes to Coney, even if only 'cause he won't be back. Trot's the soul of DirtDogdom - he'll win it next year in a walk."
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.
