If this blog was about who Joey Votto has been, I would tell you he has established himself as the greatest hitter in Cincinnati Reds history, with a career OBP of .427 that is the highest of any active player and second only to Barry Bonds among all players who debuted after World War II. If this blog was about Joey Votto’s long-term future, I would talk about his future Hall of Fame induction, his jersey retirement, and the many articles that will be written about how we, as a national collective, did not appreciate him enough while he played.
