Joe Nuxhall Remembered At Cincinnati Reds Game Last Night


On the 64th anniversary of Joe Nuxhall's debut in the Major Leagues at the age of 15, the Cincinnati Reds and the City of Cincinnati renamed the 100 block of Main Street in downtown Joe Nuxhall Way. In commemoration, the Reds gave away replica bronze statues of Nuxhall; the same statue that stands in front of Great American Ball Park. I have four statues up for sale in my store's Baseball Emporium.

I also still have copies of both Cincinnati newspapers remembering Nuxie after he passed away - both the Cincinnati Enquirer and the now defunct Cincinnati Post's editions.
