Otis Nixon is Alive & Well

Former MLB player Otis Nixon has disappeared. He was last seen on Saturday morning en route to a round of golf, but he never showed up. Police in Woodstock, Georgia are now saying they don't suspect foul play.


That gives me chills. How can police rule out foul play unless they have a body?


I don't want to create a panic. Of course, it's possible that Nixon is alive. But the use of term "no foul play suspected" is ominous.


Nixon does have a long history of substance abuse which complicates matters further.


Nevertheless, we can only hope the worse does not come to pass.


UPDATE: Our worst fears have been unrealized. Otis Nixon is alive and well. No word on what happened. For the moment it doesn't matter.


With that let's take a look at his finest moment in his 17-year big league career in 1992 when he robbed Andy Van Slyke of a home run.
