It was around 2002-2003 when the Boston Red Sox were scheduled to play an exhibition game against their Double-A affiliate Trenton Thunder. The game was rained out, but for autograph seekers we did have a successful day. Outfielder Trot Nixon was one of several players to sign for the fans. An old man was standing behind me and was able to point out each player. It was apparently my job, among all 100 fans there, to call them over. Thankfully this meant I was always the first one they signed for so I got the best effort, from Nixon included.
