First at-bat for Nixon »
May 28, 2007
Trot Nixon is on the field right now for a special pre-game ceremony in which he and wife Kathryn are receiving the 2007 Jimmy Fund Award from the Red Sox for their many years of service to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
Head of the Jimmy Fund, Mike Andrews, Sox principal owner John Henry and manager Terry Francona joined the Nixons on the field as they received their plaque, and a video retrospective of Nixon's work with the Jimmy Fund and from his days with Boston were shown. On the message board it says, "Welcome back and Welcome Always Kathryn and Trot Nixon."
Kathryn, who was crying during the presentation, threw out the game's ceremonial first pitch to Doug Mirabelli.
They received a very warm ovation from the Fenway crowd.
