Honestly outside of a few Reds who have tenure with the team ( Harang, Griffey, Dunn ) how many of them even know who Nuxhall is?

Most if not all of them would of met him at some point during spring training.
1st pick of the 2023 baseball amateur draft
None of the players were Joe's friend. I hardly expect any of the players to jump on a plane and fly to Cincy for this. Griffey has known Joe since he was a kid so he was different.
I'm sure Joe's family was just fine with the service not turning into a who's who of current Reds. The service was about Joe, not the Reds.
Sean Casey is a unique fella. If he was on a Siberian Cruise he probably would have swam ashore so he could make the visitation. Just the kind of guy he is.
BTW, was Marty there or was he too busy golfing?
There's no way Marty would miss Joe's visitation
I can't believe this thread is still open.
This "ego" thing that some fans come up with on Griffey is just downright unfair at times. I don't remember him once "bickering" about not playing CF. That's something that was simply created by the media and those who do not like him. If he did saying something that would be equal to "bickering" about CF, please provide a link and I will stand corrected.
Are we even having this discussion?
Perhaps, I shouldn't even have started this but I still maintain 1 out of 25 players is not acceptable...to say that 24 other players couldnt find the time or didnt know Nuxhall is not acceptable...to me just too many people that dont care about anything anymore except their million dollar salaries...however, I feel the Marty golfing remark was way out of line
I know his might be hard to imagine, but perhaps some did not go out of respect for the family.... This isn't about proving you are a class act. I would imagine that many payed their respects in many ways, showing up and turning his viewing into a dog and pony show is not showing respect, imo.
agreed
On Wednesdays Hot Stove League Show, Marty B. did question the fact Griffey Jr. was the only current Red at the viewing. He did not seem too happy about it.
