I still remember walking out of Lennox Movie Theater in Columbus the night of January 19th 2007, the day before my 12th birthday. My best guess based on box office records from that day is that we were seeing Night at the Museum, but I honestly don’t remember. What I do remember, however, is that as we were walking back to the car my Dad got a text alert from ESPN that Cleveland had just signed Trot Nixon. To me this was like landing Babe Ruth. THE Trot Nixon? The one that won hit 3 doubles to win game 4 of the 2004 World Series?
