Earlier this week over at Red Reporter, Wick Terrell did the math on Joey Votto’s walks over the last decade. He figured out that Votto’s 1046 walks would get him from Great American Ballpark to the Greater Cincinnati Airport with a few miles to spare. The article got me to thinking, though: How far could we get on the distance for home runs hit by the Cincinnati Reds in 2019? And which individual player could get the furthest on his own home run totals?
If there was ever a time to dive into something so pointless and silly, it’s when there’s no baseball going on, I can’t leave my house for health reasons, and I’ve got plenty of time to do stupid things, right?
