Nevin announces retirement
2007-05-11 22:50
by Bob Timmermann

Phil Nevin has announced that he has retired.

Which I already thought he had done. But it's official.

Nevin was the #1 pick in the amateur draft in 1992 by Houston and bounced around from Houston to Detroit to Anaheim to San Diego to Texas to the Cubs and finally to Minnesota.

In 1998 Nevin had 20 passed balls in just 69 games behind the plate for the Angels, no doubt in part to the presence of knuckleballer Steve Sparks on the staff, who was the pitcher for about 10 of those.

Phil Nevin has a more accomplished 3rd baseman than a catcher from what i remember of him.

Nevin is #1 on the list of Padre players who blamed their shortcomings on the new stadium, Petco Park. The Petco effect apparently lingered, following him to Chicago and Minnesota.
