The Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game
We've long acknowledged that Billy Hamilton has the unique ability to create things on the bases that few, if any in the game of baseball can replicate, provided that he can just find a way to get to 1B safely. Hamilton did that in spades on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs, and it allowed him to unleash the kind of baserunning havoc that makes watching him an absolute delight for Cincinnati Reds fans.
Hamilton's final line reads simply enough: 2 for 3 with a walk and 2 runs scored, but the story behind it is why he gets today's JNMHSotG.
