Tribute to Joe Nuxhall

"It's a shame he isn't here to see this", one fan was overheard saying Tuesday night as the first annual Joe Nuxhall Classic was being played at UC.  As a tribute to a man that meant so much to baseball in Cincinnati a tournament among four local college baseball teams has been created in his honor.  Joe Nuxhall was baseball in Cincinnati, but not just on a professional level.  he touched all ages, from t-ball up through Babe Ruth, an ion to the big leagues.
Here is what it looked and sounded like Tuesday night at Marge Schott Stadium, including a video message from long time broadcast partner and friend, Marty Brennaman.
