ST. LOUIS – Joey Votto had some comments circulate through St. Louis after the Cincinnati Reds swept the Cardinals at Busch Stadium in June.
Votto didn’t play in that four-game series, completing his rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville, but he spoke the following day when he was activated from the injured list. Votto, smiling, said “we had some (trash)-talking (expletives) in St. Louis after the first series sweep and it’s nice to go on the road, at their ballpark, and let them have it.”
In Votto’s first trip back to Busch Stadium, he said he regretted saying that because it wasn’t directed toward Cardinals fans.
