BengalszoneBilly Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 I grew up listening to an old transistor radio as Joe Nuxhall broadcasted the game. His delivery of the events on the field were a pure pleasure to hear as I drifted off to sleep. He so deserves this! Quote
MacD BengalFan Posted December 6, 2006 Report Posted December 6, 2006 I grew up also listening to the ole lefthander "rounding third and heading home" along with Marty Brenneman's "This one belongs to the Reds" with my grandfather in his back yard in Columbus. And probably on the same transister radio as yours. What great memories! Quote

He so deserves this!Loved listening to them on those late nights from the west coast....heaven....Does anyone know if both members of a long-term broadcast team are in the Hall together? Would Marty and Joe be the first? Probably not, but I thought I would ask.... Quote

And I too loved listening to the Reds/Dodgers games, then an NL West rivalry, with Sparky Anderson's and Tommy Lasorda's brilliant coaching battling it out with each other. Ahhh...some really great days those were! Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Marty and Joe on the radio were baseball to me growing up. They broadcasts are not the same without Joe there. What great memories, I can still remember Joe calling a HR by Mario Soto, he made it sound so real and enjoyable for everyone. He deserves this award, I was amazed that Marty got in before him. Not that Marty did not deserve it, but for me Joe was who made listening fun. Quote

I will always remember Joe calling Johnny Bench's last home run on "Johnny Bench Day" in Cincinnati....Timeless..... Quote
