Leave it to Joey Votto to provide an ending of sorts, to as tumultuous and perhaps life-changing a weekend as we’ve experienced in this country in decades.
Frequent perusers of This Space know I’ve admired Votto almost since the day he arrived in Cincinnati. Sports opinion hacks enjoy athletes who can stretch the conversation. If talking about hitting theory and mechanics is your thing, Votto can do that. To me, that’s about as fun as a double helping of kale.
Where Votto shines is in his ability to see the world from a wider lens.
