Joe Nuxhall Book Signing at Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame this Sunday, Sept. 30

09/27/2007, CINCINNATI -- Reds Hall of Famer Joe Nuxhall will be signing copies of Joe: Rounding Third & Heading for Home, at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum this Sunday, Sept. 30. Nuxhall will sign with the book's author, Greg Hoard, from noon to 1 p.m.

Joe: Rounding Third & Heading for Home recounts the lifelong baseball journey of one of the most beloved figures in the history of Reds baseball. From his debut at age 15 in 1944 to his emergence as a local broadcasting icon, Joe offers a treasure trove of insight into the career of "The Old Left-hander."

The book sells for $32 with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Joe Nuxhall Character Education Fund and the Reds Hall of Fame. Regular admission prices for the Reds Hall of Fame will be in effect, including $5 admission with a same-day game ticket.

Nuxhall was inducted into the Reds Hall of Fame in 1968. The two-time All-Star went on to win 135 games during his 16 seasons in the Major Leagues before retiring to the broadcast booth in 1967.

Currently, the Reds Hall of Fame is featuring PETE: The Exhibit, celebrating the 24-year playing career of Pete Rose, Major League Baseball's all-time hits leader. Featured exhibit items include the hit ball and bat from Rose's record-breaking 4192 hit, game-used gloves from all five positions Rose played, and an award-winning movie in the Reds Hall of Fame's theater detailing Rose's playing career.

The Hall of Fame is open from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. for afternoon games, and from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. for all evening games until Sept. 30. Beginning Monday, Oct. 1, the Reds Hall of Fame will be open Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
