Joe Nuxall, the answer to a great baseball question

It was the week of D-Day 1944 and most of the players were fighting the war.

The Cincinnati Reds brought up a 15-year old rookie named Joe Nuxall.  He became the youngest player in baseball history when he appeared on this day in 1944.

After baseball, Nuxall was the Reds' broadcaster on WLW. I remember catching a few Reds' games on the Ohio Turnpike.

Nuxall was a great announcer and a pretty good pitcher as well:  135 wins & 3.90 ERA.  

So remember. Who was the youngest man to play major league baseball? The answer is the late Joe Nuxall.
