RUSS NIXON

Russ Nixon had a nice 12 year career as a backup catcher, including two seasons with the Twins in 1966 and 1967.  He followed his playing career by spending another four decades in the game as a coach, manager, and scout.  That included two stops as a big league manager: for the Reds in the early 1980s, and for the Braves at the end of the decade.
