- <p> He is one of the swiftest men in baseball, the National
- League's leading base stealer, but last week Otis Nixon
- stumbled. The Atlanta Braves' catalytic lead-off hitter tested
- positive for cocaine use and was suspended for 60 days and all
- post-season play. It was a shocking setback for Nixon, who had
- passed more than 200 drug tests since a 1987 drug arrest, and
- also for the Braves, at battling for first place after finishing
- last a season ago. Poetically, Nixon's replacement in the lineup
- is Lonnie Smith, a former cocaine user.
