Very sad news from the Reds. One of their beloved announcers passed away today at age 79. He has been with the Reds for over 60 years as a player and announcer. He was the youngest player to make it to the big leagues at age 15.

I remember sitting in my room listening to the 1990 broadcast when the Reds won the world series. He was part of what I think is the best announcing team in broadcasting with Marty Brenneman. I am thankful that I got to listen to him call a few games this season as they were slowing taking him away from the booth.

Here's to the "Ol' lefthander rounding third and heading for home" one last time.

Wow, I remember listening to him growing up.

I remember my grandma listening to him and the Reds every night during her final summer while she stayed with my family.

RIP Joe.

I just read that Nuxall was a finalist for the Frick awards. I hope he can win. I think he deserves it for his lifetimes work.
