Kicking Off My Trot Nixon Wife Deep Dive
So yesterday morning I was scrolling baseball forums drinking coffee, right? Saw this random question: “Whatever happened to Trot Nixon’s wife?” Got me curious since I remember Trot from his Red Sox days. Figured I’d dig around for old news.
Started simple: just smashed “Trot Nixon wife” into Google. Immediate headache – buncha sketchy celebrity gossip sites popped up first. One claimed she divorced him in 2010. Another said they moved to Arkansas. Total mess with zero sources.
Switching to actual baseball archives:
- Checked the Boston Globe’s sports archives first
- Found their 2000 wedding announcement – her name’s Kathryn Beaudry
- Cross-referenced with Nixon’s 2007 retirement interviews
- Dug up local North Carolina papers where they settled
Took three hours scrolling microfiche at the library. My back was killing me from hunching over those old scanners. Finally hit gold in a 2018 Little League newsletter – photo of them coaching their kid’s team in Wilmington. Article confirmed they’re still married, running a batting cage business together.
Best part? Found Kathryn’s charity work through church bulletins. She organizes equipment drives for underfunded schools. Real wholesome stuff – nothing like those trashy gossip sites claimed. Lesson learned: always check primary sources before believing internet rumors.
