Tribute to Nuxhall

Today in a tribute to late Reds radio announcer, the Reds wore a jersey with Nuxhalls number 41 and his name on the back. They were only given permission to wear them during the intro to the game. They all had to switch back to their regular jersey after the intro except for Harang who had special permission to wear it the entire game. After the game he is going to donate it to the Reds HOF for their year long tribute to the Ol lefthander. The rest they said are going to be put up for auction with the proceeds being donated to Nuxhall's charity. It was a very emotional tribute to a man that is well known to all Reds fans. I had to listen on the radio as I couldn't go to the game and it wasn't on TV around here. I haven't been able to find any pictures of them wearing them. but will post one when I find it.
