Trivia: In 1944, Joe Nuxhall became the youngest person to play in what league?
National Hockey League
Major League Baseball
National Football League
National Basketball Association
The correct answer is Major League Baseball
So why is this answer correct? : On June 10, 1944, due to player shortages during World War II, 15-year-old Joe Nuxhall took to the mound and pitched two-thirds of an inning for the Cincinnati Reds. At that moment, he became the youngest person to ever play Major League Baseball, and almost 80 years later, the record still holds. Eight years after his history-making inning, Nuxhall returned to the Reds and to this day holds the team record for most games pitched by a left-hander. After retiring in 1967, Nuxhall announced games for the Reds for 37 years.
