It's fitting that
both Trot Nixon and
Jason Varitek celebrate birthdays today—as the Red Sox are in the midst of a Yankee series at Fenway Park. After all—aside from
David Ortiz and
Pedro Martinez—it's hard to find any other
Carmine Hosers who so vexed
The Bronx Embalmers. Who can forget Trot's defiant ninth-inning home run off a taunting
Roger Clemens in May of 2000? And, of course, is there any more iconic image of the Sox-Empire feud than the take-down of
Alex "A-Fraud" Rodriguez by
The Captain in 2004? So, as Varitek turns 46 and Trot turns 44 today, we wish them the best and—in their honor—another Red Sox romp tonight.
