Joe Nuxhall death is sad news for this beloved player and Reds broadcaster.  He played his first game ever in Major League Baseball at the age of 15 years old.  That is an amazingly young age.  This apparently occurred during World War II when there was a shortage of players to play.  He will be missed by many including his family and baseball fans across the world, especially in Cincinnati.
