Joey Votto Sits in Crowd With Reds Fans During Injury Absence

Reds first baseman Joey Votto hasn’t played in a game since Aug. 16 after he had a season-ending surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder.

Even though Votto is missing out on his team’s games right now, he wanted to show his support for his teammates.

During Wednesday’s game vs. the Red Sox, Votto appeared in the audience at Great American Ball Park and wandered around meeting fans and interacting with them.

The 39-year-old took selfies with fans, signed autographs and even sat down with various fans and kids to watch the ballgame with them.
