    James William Nettles was born on March 2, 1947 in San Diego, California. He is the younger brother of Graig Nettles, who also played for the Minnesota Twins.

    Minnesota drafted him in round four of the 1968 MLB Draft. Nettles reached the big league level in 1970, and played parts of three seasons for the club. He hit .225 with ten home runs over 185 games for the Twins between 1970 and 1972. Nettles spent all of 1973 with their Triple-A affiliate, and was traded to the Detroit Tigers for first baseman Paul Jata the following off-season.

    He continued to play professionally until 1986, but only appeared in 55 more big league games after leaving Minnesota. Nettles spent several years as a minor league manager or hitting coach, retiring after the 2006 season.
