He was somewhat of a rarity, batting from the right side and throwing left-handed. Despite his age and stocky stature, Nixon was regarded as fast in the field and on the basepaths with a fine throwing arm. After spending three seasons with the Braves as an outfielder, Nixon was dealt to the Phillies on April 9, 1924, but stubbornly refused to report, echoing past behavior. He then jumped to “outlaw” independent leagues to play and manage. As a result, Organized Baseball placed Nixon on the ineligible list for two years before Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis reinstated him in 1926. He spent the 1926-28 seasons with the Phillies. - SABR
As requested, I redid the facegen. I also tried to keep the smoothing to a minimum.
