Chad, I am a media addict in many forms. Vinyl and CDs are my drugs of choice. Every piece is catalogued on discogs.com so my children will be able to reap the rewards of selling some VERY rare items when my days are passed.
I also own that 1975 DVD set because it ties to my childhood so deeply. I have even watched it within the past 2 years.
Now, to the reason for my reply. Joe Nuxhall is my boy/man crush from the time I mailed him my 1954 Bowman card for him to sign.
I grew up in Blue Ash and somehow had a publication with home addresses of many baseball players. I knew that Joe lived in Fairfield and knew that he would be home for a stretch of baseball. I put my little card in a protector and placed it in a little white envelope and mailed it to his house on a Thursday. That amazing man, received it and signed it right away, and mailed it. I received it at my house in Blue Ash on Saturday.
To say that made a major impact on me is a major understatement. This 56 year old man is deeply indebted to Joe for making my little boy world a better place and that has carried to today. To say that I have a sizable Joe Nuxhall collection is fair. I love that man.

Awesome story! Lots of people have great memories of their interactions with Nuxy, I’ve discovered.
There is absolutely nothing like Nuxy conducting a joyous, beer soaked, championship interview.
Simply the best
