Trying to remember the outfield: George Foster in Left, Cesar Geronimo in Center, can’t remember the Right Fielder.

That was 44 years ago and I listened to every game with Marty Brenneman and the Ol Lefthander, Joe Nuxall.

Marty’s tag line.....”And this one belongs to the Reds”.... after a Reds win.
Joe would always say “This is the Ol’ Lefthander Rounding Third and Heading for Home”....as he finished his post game show.

*** Joe Nuxall was 15 years old when he signed with the Reds. The youngest player to ever play in a MLB game. He spent 62 seasons with the Reds as a player and announcer.

Edit: Had to look up Reds RF in 1976: Ken Griffey. How could I forget that...lol

RIP Joe Morgan.

Well remember Nuxhall's tag line. Even after I moved to Houston I would ocassionally listen to him on WLW in the days of analog dials. You could frequently pick up those 50,000 watt stations.
