He was drafted by the Reds at 19 years old. He wore a Reds uniform his entire career. A man of class, professionalism and character on and off the field. Damn I know better than to cut onions when posting.
As not only a Braves fan but a baseball fan. It has been an absolute pleasure watching Joey Votto play over the last 15+. Dude straight up raked. He will definitely be a hitting coach in the bigs before long.
It's sad to see some of the hate Votto gets from social media, especially the so called Reds "fans." This guy has played 15+ years on the same team and loves the city and fans. He has an off year or 2 and they think he's the worst person to keep on the team
guy is a legend. what a heartfelt genuine speech. That is raw, unadulterated appreciation straight from the heart and there is no other player you get that kind of authenticity from. Hope to him back in baseball next year and hopefully in the postseason.
Joey will always be Family to The Reds Nation! What a Character and what a genuine Class Act! Thank you Toronto letting America borrow Joseph Daniel Votto! Cheers Everyone!
Crazy because like he didn’t wanna leave right but it’s like all the attention he was getting was kind of pushing everyone the coaches and him towards a decision stay or go and that’s not even what anything was about like recognize him without trying to push them out the door… but at the same time you want him to leave in a good note on a high and safe and healthy and strong too. ❤🙏🥰🧿
What a time for the reds to sweep the Cardinals. C'mon Cincinnati do unto the Cardinals as they have done to you. They have thrashed the Reds for the last 10 years or longer.
Joey is a great guy but man, the Reds got their ass handed to them with that 10-year contract they gave him. That's the way it is, you have to sign them to 8-13 years in order to get 5-7 great years out of them. See Pujols, Cabrerra, Machado, Trout, Harper. The last few years are a joke.
