November 16, 200718 yr RIP Joe. Thanks for the memories. As MCPapa stated, the Old Lefthander is finally home.
November 16, 200718 yr This is sad news my Dad always talked about him and Marty and Cawood. :cry::cry:
November 16, 200718 yr Very sad news..... MLB, Reds and the Cincinnati community, has lost a baseball icon. He was one of the best.
November 16, 200718 yr Author While I spent my formative years listening to Chuck Thompson broadcast Orioles games, for folks growing up around here, could there have been anything better on a warm summer evening than sitting out on the porch and listening to Marty and Joe?
November 16, 200718 yr We'll miss ya Joe. This may not be the proper form for this, but I know a lot of us listened to Joe, as did our kids over the years and as far as this baseball fan is concerned, we have lost one of the best. The ole left hander will be missed.
November 16, 200718 yr Wow as someone said, this is terrible news to start off a morning. I know I loved listening to him and Marty announce Reds games when I was growing up. He was a great man, and will definitely be missed! I know I was hoping he really would be around long enough to be able to be inducted into the hall of fame. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family! This just a sad day now. May you RIP Joe! :cry:
November 16, 200718 yr I had the honor of serving on a scholarship committee with Mr. Nuxhall for a short number of years. Even though we only met twice a year and he had no reason to remember me from Adam, whenever I ran into Joe anywhere, he always had a smile, a handshake and a kind word. He was an amazingly gracious and charitable man and we are a better town, region and baseball is a better sport for his having been a part of each. We will truly miss Joe Nuxhall.
November 16, 200718 yr This is very sad news:cry:, the Reds have lost a valued member of "the family" and ALL true Cincinnati Fans have lost a friend. I grew up listening to "Marty and JOE" on the radio. Nuxy to me was an absolute icon. Joe along with Marty Brennaman are/were THE BEST baseball broadcasters anywhere, bar none - NO ONE else in the country even came close. On that same line most of us grew up listening to the late, great Cawood Ledford on U.K. broadcasts as well. Cawood was another that could never be matched by anyone ...anywhere, absolutely the best. The Old Lefthander Has Rounded Third And Is Now Home........ R.I.P. Joe Nuxhall, you will be missed.
November 16, 200718 yr A terrible way to start the morning by reading this news. I knew Joe's time would come soon, but I was hoping he could be voted into the HOF before his passing. RIP Joe. You gave me many years of memories. :cry: :thumb:You said it well LRCW, you said it well....:cry:
