Despite an hour rain delay, the first baseball game of the year began with the Reds and the Diamondbacks. Unfortunately, the Reds lost, but we enjoyed the weekend!
It was a surprise when the Reds came out onto the field during introductions all wearing a "Nuxhall #41" jersey. This was a tribute to the late Joe Nuxhall who was with the Reds organization for some 60 years. He began his major league career as the youngest player ever to make the majors. He pitched for the Reds when he was 15 years old! Most recently Joe was the other half of the famous Marty and Joe Reds on Radio team. We'll miss the "old lefthander" and his signature closing "round third and heading for home".
