I’ll give Jayson Nix’s 2011 card credit where credit is due. Once you get into his second column, it’s pretty sweet. But other than that, it’s slim pickins for good stuff for the Toronto infielder. Rollers for this card will have to put up with a 25-22 and a 13-39.
Nix hit only .169 in 151 plate appearances in 2011.

Nix stole 4 bases and also hit 4 homeruns in 2011. Interestingly, APBA saw fit to give him a single column 11 but not a single column 1. Instead, he received three 0s (based on 5 doubles, 1 triples along with the 4 homers) with eleven 1s and one 5 in the second column.
Now granted, the homeruns figure out almost the same if you do the math. I don’t think Nix was due for a single column card. He didn’t have enough extra base hits (he ended up with eight second column 7s). However, an argument could be made that he could have received a 1-0-0 with some second column 7s.
That said, this card works. Nix does work out to 0.96 homeruns per 36 plate appearances and that’s about what it should produce.
