New Street Planned For Next Dead Reds Icon
By Burt Safer | Dealer staff writer    Thu, Apr 3, 2008
 

streetsignCINCINNATI - This week, Hamilton County Commissioners Todd Portune and David Pepper said they would like to honor Reds legend Joe Nuxhall by renaming a section of Main Street as "Joe Nuxhall Way".

Just so the next dead Reds icon doesn't feel left out, the Commissioners would also like to open a new street near Great American Ballpark for the next Reds icon who kicks the bucket.

"There are so many more Reds icons out there who haven't died yet," said Commissioner David Pepper, "And we are runnning out of streets."

"That was the inspiration behind 'Next Dead Reds Icon Way',"  said Pepper, "This new street could eventually become Johnny Bench Way, Joe Morgan Way, Tony Perez Way, Marty Brenneman Way, or Tom Hume Way. It all depends on who dies next."
