Joe Nuxhall dead at age 79!

Posted By: RC

My memories of Nuxhall are as an announcer for the Reds, he started announcing in '67 which was the first year I consistently followed baseball. He was an absolute pleasure to listen to, just a "down home" guy.

Some of the stories being told on WLW radio about him are both amusing and even inspiring in this day and age of professional athletes who are somewhat distant to the fans. Joe was the kind of guy who would never say no to a requested autograph and would also stop and offer a ride to a couple kids standing in the rain hoping for autographs after a game.

I could go on and on, but for the Cincinnati area, he was definitely an icon and will forever be embraced by the community.
