ABOUT LAYNCE NIX

MLB first baseman played with the Rangers and Brewers, and joined the Philadelphia Phillies in 2012.

He got off to a promising start with the Rangers in 2003, but a 2005 shoulder injury kept him out much of the season.

Injuries again hampered his play after the Rangers traded him to the Brewers, and he spent almost all of 2007 and 2008 in the minor leagues.

His wife Brooke was a cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys.

He played with Roy Halladay on the Phillies.
