I attended the second game in a three-game series in which the Arizona Diamondbacks hosted the Cincinnati Reds. This is one of the 144 pictures I took during the game, all while keeping score and listening to the play-by-play on an old pocket radio I purchased sometime around 1990, for the specific purpose of listening to baseball games. (That radio has seen a good deal of use and has some amusing stories connected with it, some of which I might share here later.)
Pitcher Wade Miley is shown here with second baseman Aaron Hill in the background. The D-backs came up short, losing to the Reds by a score of 5-2, which really was not surprising because the D-backs are a .500 team and the Reds have one of the best winning records in major league baseball this season.

Joseph Henry Nuxhall (b. July 30, 1928 – d. November 15, 2007 at age 79) was a left-handed pitcher in MLB, mostly for the Cincinnati Reds. Immediately after retiring as a player, he became a radio broadcaster for the Reds from 1967 through 2004, and continued part-time up until his death in 2007. Nuxhall held the team's record for career games pitched (484) from 1965 to 1975, and still holds the team mark for left-handers.
Nuxhall is most remembered for having been the youngest player ever to appear in a major league game, pitching 2/3 of an inning for the Reds on June 10, 1944 at the age of 15 years, 316 days. Called upon for that one game due to player shortages during World War II, Nuxhall would eventually find his way back to the Reds in 1952, and the National League All-Star team in 1955 and 1956.

Emory Nicholas "Bubba" Church (b. September 12, 1924 – d. September 17, 2001 at age 77) was a right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball who played for the Philadelphia Phillies (1950–52), Cincinnati Reds / Redlegs (1952–53) and Chicago Cubs (1953–55). He was born in Birmingham, Alabama.
During his rookie season, Church was playing a key role for the famed 1950 "Whiz Kids" Phillies in their fight for a pennant. He was an important member of a very young pitching staff, teaming with Robin Roberts, Curt Simmons, Bob Miller, and the dependable reliever Jim Konstanty. However, Church was struck in the face by a line drive off the bat of Cincinnati's Ted Kluszewski. The ball was hit so hard that it caromed into right field on the fly. A week later, he was out on the mound again to face the hard-hitting Dodgers, but after the game his season was over, and he did not play in the 1950 World Series. He finished 1950 at 8–6 with an ERA of 2.73 and two shutouts in 142 innings.
Church enjoyed his most productive season in 1951, when he collected career-highs in victories (15), strikeouts (104), shutouts (4) and innings (246), including a one-hitter over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Early in the 1952 season, he was traded to the Reds. Church was 5–9 for Cincinnati, and 7–8 for the Reds and the Chicago Cubs in 1953. Two and a half more seasons with the Cubs, pitching only occasionally because of arm problems, brought his big league career to an end in 1955.
Prior to Church's professional baseball career, he served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II serving in the China Burma India Theater.

George Lee "Sparky" Anderson (b. February 22, 1934 – d. November 4, 2010 at age 76) was a MLB manager. He managed the National League's Cincinnati Reds to the 1975 and 1976 championships, then added a third title in 1984 with the Detroit Tigers of the American League. He was the first manager to win the World Series in both leagues. His 2,194 career wins are the sixth most for a manager in Major League history. He was named American League Manager of the Year in 1984 and 1987. Anderson was elected to the Baseball HOF in 2000.
After five minor league seasons without appearing in a Dodger uniform at the MLB level, he was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies on December 23, 1958 for three players, including outfielder Rip Repulski. The Phillies gave Anderson their starting second base job, and he spent what would be his one full season in the major leagues in 1959. However, he batted only .218 in 152 games, with no home runs and 34 runs batted in, and returned to the minor leagues for the remainder of his playing career.
Signed by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1953, Sparky Anderson advanced to the Triple-A Montreal Royals in 1956, where he hit .298 and rapped out 135 hits. After toiling with the Pacific Coast League’s Los Angeles Angels for one season, the fiery second baseman returned to Montreal to sock 35 doubles and lead the Royals to a league title in 1958. His sole big league season came with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1959, before he came back to Canada to man second base for the Toronto Maple Leafs for four seasons.
In all, the heady infielder played six of 10 minor league seasons north of the border. During that time, he was voted the International League’s Smartest Player five times. In 1964, Anderson accepted his first managerial post with the Toronto Maple Leafs, an opportunity afforded to him by fellow Canadian Baseball HOF Jack Kent Cooke. After compiling an 80-72 record for the Leafs, he made his way up the managerial ladder to become one of the most successful skippers in big league history.
After Anderson was named field boss of the Cincinnati Reds in 1970, the Big Red Machine won National League pennants in 1970, 1972 and 1973 and World Series titles in 1975 and 1976. He would join the Detroit Tigers in 1979 and lead the club to a Fall Classic title in 1984, becoming the first manager to win a World Series in both the National and American Leagues. The four-time manager of the year is also the first skipper to win more than 800 games with two major league teams and currently stands sixth all-time with 2,194 big league wins. Sparky was elected to Cooperstown on February 29, 2000 and inducted on July 23, 2000.

Richard Martin Keough (b: April 14, 1934 in Oakland, California) is a former outfielder in MLB who played from 1956 through 1966 for the Boston Red Sox (1956–60), Cleveland Indians (1960), Washington Senators (1961), Cincinnati Reds (1962–65), Atlanta Braves (1966) and Chicago Cubs (1966).
Keough survived more than a decade in the majors without ever winning a full-time job. Mainly a defensive replacement in the outfield, he owned a decent throwing arm and showed some power at the plate, but never hit consistently enough to earn regular playing time.
He debuted with the Boston Red Sox in 1956, sharing outfield work with Ted Williams, Jim Piersall and Jackie Jensen, between others, until the 1960 midseason when he was traded to the Cleveland Indians.
His most productive season came in 1961 with the Senators, when he posted career numbers in hits (97), doubles (18), triples (9), home runs (9), runs (57), RBI (34), stolen bases (12), and games played (135).
Career statistics:
Batting average - .242
Home runs - 43
RBI - 176

Kenneth David Raffensberger (b: August 8, 1917 – d: November 10, 2002 at age 85) was a starting pitcher in MLB. From 1939 through 1954, he played for the St. Louis Cardinals (1939), Chicago Cubs (1940–41), Philadelphia Phillies (1943–47), and Cincinnati Reds/Redlegs (1947–1954).
He started his career as a fastball pitcher, particularly gaining success with his rising fastball. Towards the later end of his career, starting in the early 1940's, he developed a dependable forkball to complement his fastball, slow curve, and change. He had one of the widest ranges of deliveries in the majors, ranging from underhand to overhand and a variety of side arm and three-quarter deliveries in between.
St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Stan Musial said on an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show that Raffensberger was the toughest left-handed pitcher he had ever faced and dubbed him "Crafty Raffy."
Career statistics:
Win-loss record - 119-154
ERA - 3.60
Strikeouts - 806
