You don't know who Joe Nuxhall is?

In my neck of the woods, he's a saint. In Cincinatti, he's Babe Ruth, Vin Scully, and Buck O'Neil all wrapped into one. He's got a statue outside the park. His catchphrase signoff" . . .rounding third and heading for home." is etched on the side of the ballpark. He invented right-left center field. His pbp partners were Al Michaels and Marty Brenneman

He's been with the Reds since 1944.

For my games, I rename GABP to Joe Nuxhall Field.

When he passes, he ought to lie in state for a week at the stadium to allow for everyone to pay their respects. Hopefully, that day is decades away.
