Editor’s Note: I hope you will join me in welcoming Ashley Davis to the Redleg Nation family. This is actually not Ashley’s first piece for RN; she wrote this piece six years ago (!) about Joey Votto and Yonder Alonso. I’m really excited that she’s joining us at RN for the 2017 season. Please make her feel welcome! — Chad Dotson
