Vindication for Felix Martinez!! Of course, he was still an a-hole for all the other crap he pulled.

Nixon looks the same as he did in his playing days. If this keeps up, he'll look his real age in about 15 years.

"The victims allege that Nixon used his movie star good looks to charm them out of thousands of dollars," read the article in Things That Will Never Be Written Magazine.

Never trust a Nixon.

Phase one of his plan is to be incarcerated alongside them.

Was the scam getting a headline writer to refer to him as a 'star'?

He has been a ner do well for what seems like forever; I think the difference between him and Lenny Dykstra is flamboyance (and that Lenny actually made it, at one point).

Only Nixon could go to China.

There were red flags when he started hanging around with Denny McLain.

According to otisnixon.com:

My life today is Christ-Centered free from the past experiences and storms of drugs and alcohol, trials and tests of keeping it real. My testimony speaks for itself.

After breaking out of that sealed Egyptian tomb, prison walls are a joke to Otis Nixon.

My life today is Christ-Centered free from the past experiences and storms of drugs and alcohol, trials and tests of keeping it real. My testimony speaks for itself.

I hope his defense is "Jesus made me do it."

Otis Nixon stealing? This is a story?

some people…claim the ex-Brave used his baseball reputation to trick them out of as much as $1,000 each by falsely promising he could win early release for their loved one in state prison.

"As much as $1,000..."? Early release from state is worth $400? $800? I don't know what's worse--the scumbaggery involved, or the complete lack of ambition. Besides, who's he 'helping'? People who have been to prison sometimes do resent your stealing money from their relatives.

trick them out of as much as $1,000 each

Fun fact: Otis Nixon made (at least) $19,927,500 during his baseball career.

Otis Nixon was also a crackhead. How much of that money do you suppose he still has?

Not much, if he's now scamming people at (as much as!) $1,000 at a time.

Let's say Otis made $21M, and two-thirds of it went to agents and taxes and stuff like that. That leaves a career take-home pay of $7,000,000.

Seven million dollars. If your working life is 50 years, you'd have to average $140,000 a year -- after taxes -- to make that much money in your lifetime. (Actually, you'd have to earn much more to keep up with inflation, but never mind.) The mind reels.

Never trust a Nixon.

"People have got to know whether or not their center fielder is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got."

"Otis" is a criminal name. See also Lex Luthor's sidekick.

People who have been to prison sometimes do resent your stealing money from their relatives.

He may have been offending (possibly violent) criminals, but at least he was misrepresenting himself as having a role in the justice system.

My man!!!

There's a lot of this going around Atlanta this week.

There's a lot of this going around Atlanta this week.

Well, at least they aren't shooting anyone who drives by them in a truck.

#21 Come on now. They weren't shooting at all trucks. Only specific color/model combinations.
