The Ol' Lefthander needs some prayers

Joe Nuxhall back in the hospital. Hopefully, the lymphoma hasn't come back.

From what I read in the Cincy Enquirer, it sounds like it has.

Nothing about this sounds good, especially at his age. Or maybe I've just got a bad feeling. Anyway, we'll hope for the best, and my prayers join your prayers, Hack.

Should be on the list of never-to-be-broken sports records - pitching in the big leagues at age 15. Yeah, I know it was wartime and all but still....

All the best to him and his family.

Love, love Nuxhall. Many nights as a kid I'd go to sleep listening to Marty and Joe. All the best to him.

I've lived in Reds Country for most of my 32 years, and it's amazing to think they were a team for nearly that whole time.

Joe's not listed on the broadcasting team this year, but I'm sure God willing, he'll make at least a couple cameos this season.

Get well soon, Joe.

I'm pretty sure that at the time the Reds announced the Thom Brennaman hire, I heard or read that Nuxie would still be doing a handful of games. I'll do my best not to miss 'em.

And I'm extremely thankful that the situation doesn't sound as dire for Joe as I first thought. Get well soon, indeed.
