If you were putting together a Mount Rushmore of Cincinnati Reds greats, Joey Votto would probably fall just short. After all, you cannot leave off Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Barry Larkin, and Joe Morgan, right? You could even make the argument for Frank Robinson and Sparky Anderson to rank higher than Votto in terms of Reds lore.
However, Votto’s 300th home run during yesterday’s game cemented his standing as a future Hall of Famer.
