Bonds will hopefully get what he deserves for ruining the integrity of the Great American Pastime, but at the same time the death of the legendary "Old Lefthander" Joe Nuxhall has only been mentioned in passing by ESPN, FoxSports, and the local sports sections of newpapers. While Bonds and his lack of integrity shows everything that is wrong with baseball, Nuxhall's larger than life personality, passion, character, and integrity shows everything that, at least once, was right with baseball. Nuxhall remains the youngest major league player ever having pitched his first profession game straight out of junior high school at the ripe old age of 15. As war decimated the ranks of men of fighting age, Nuxhall and men like him were called upon to keep the dreams of a war-torn nation alive. Nuxhall was more of a man at 15 than Bonds could ever be, regardless of age. Baseball suffered a great loss with Nuxhall's passing.
Now the Old Lefthander is truely rounding third and heading for home.

Well said. I would remark many intelligent things here but that would be a waste. Indeed you're question wasn't a question at all and nor should it be. So I leave it as is. RIP Nuxhall.
PS- And ESPN gets a minus 5 points for that BS.

Nuxhall as you already know was the youngest player in mlb history but what is truly amazing after being in his first inning of ml action (in relief) after getting the first two out gave up a single to stan musial , then couldn t get out of the inning. He was demoted to the minors,for 8 years to return and pitch for the reds for 22 years, and then to become the reds legendary announcer. A country boy we know he rounded third and was headed for heaven s home, God bless Joe Nuxhall.
