For all you Reds fans, the end of an era occurred last week when Marty Brennaman broadcast his last baseball game in Cincinnati. Seems impossible to believe that it was 45 years ago when he came to Cincinnati to call the games with Joe Nuxhall. The Big Red Machine brought so much joy to my Grandad, my Dad and my husband. I read this evening that many were calling out “This one belongs to Marty” about his last game; so true. Marty, you were one of a kind and like Joe Nuxhall will never be forgotten. I still remember my Dad and Grandad turning down the sound of the TV and turning on a transistor radio to listen to them broadcast the game; or better yet when they attended a game, took along a radio so they could listen to their commentary. Another Hall of Famer has called his last game. Congratulations Marty, enjoy your retirement – you deserve it.
