Postby admin » Tue, 04 Dec 2007 21:37:52 GMT

Thanks to many Cincinnati Reds fans, Joe Nuxhall is on the short list for a spot in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Nuxhall is one of three broadcasters fans chose to be among the 10 finalists for the award for excellence in broadcasting.

After the votes were counted, there's no doubt he deserves to be there.

Nuxhall set a record for online votes cast for a single candidate.

The former Reds player and broadcaster received 82,304 votes.

Bill King and Joe Morgan came in a distant second and third place.

The winner will be announced on February 19.

As reported by WCPO

Statement from the Nuxhall family:

“On behalf of dad and the entire Nuxhall family, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Cincinnati Reds, radio and TV stations, newspapers and particularly the thousands of fans who took the time to cast their votes for dad. Just being on the ballot is a great honor for dad, and we graciously share this recognition with everyone in Reds country.”
