Joey Votto could literally be an actor. He is funny as hell. I love how he disarms people with his humor.

[@EJH-jn6mo]

where has the dude's personality been for the last 17 years??!!

[@brandonmoucatel9630]

​@@EJH-jn6moit's starting to come out

[@cherylharper5910]

And now he is ours. Let's go Blue Jays.

[@PrinceZirconium]

The most interesting man in baseball.

[@chipwhitley6509]

Only Votto can make a random reference to a player who played in the 1910s that nobody else has heard of

[@RodEnglish]

Sounds like a freaking wrestling promo..😂😂😂😂

[@mehill7786]

He is an absolute treasure of the game. Even being a Brewers fan, I’m still a huge fan of Votto.

[@mikelyons5632]

Cubs fan, here. Same thing.

[@froggywormy]

Protect this precious man at all costs.

[@tml184]

Hate that expression. He doesn't need to be protected.

[@elbob17]

People really need to stop saying this. It makes no sense.

[@AlphaAchilles]

I agree! You see it everywhere as though people need protected.

We, in Cincinnati, love our Joey Votto!! ❤️👍👏

He is Canadian not from Cincinnati

Man we are lucky to have Votto in Cincy. I'm driving from Columbus as much as possible this year to make sure I get as much time watching this legend play as possible!

[@tewksbob]

Who would have guessed that Andy Kaufman would finally reveal himself to exist through Joey Votto?

[@TheCardSwap]

Wow that's a great comment. Good call.

[@rhombicdodecahedron1665]

Mariners fan here, Joey is one of the funniest players in the game. I love this dude!

[@ModernMozart1104]

I'm a cubs fan and I think Joey Votto is cool as chit.

[@riffraffgraffix]

Votto Still Bangs!!!!!!

[@ZeitdiebX]

Wearing a shirt with the number 19 watching this. Joey is amazing. A bleepin‘ role model ! ⚾️

[@lyndonlewis6667]

Love Joey Votto and go Reds! I have no connection to the city but I grew up a Big Red Machine fan and have followed them ever since. Votto is a treasure

[@oscarcastro6203]

Man what a ballplayer!!

[@patricksainclair2384]

Alanna Rizzo was dying of cringe but came around cause Votto stayed in character. Excellent work

[@miserablecardinalsfan]

she's just like "i don't belong here"

[@BACONndEGGS]

she is cringe

[@himartinez3515]

Joey’s responses at 1:20 and 2:30 are hilarious!!! I love sharing those scenes! Nice job Joey.

[@himartinez3515]

See 2:40 Joey Votto replies: I am not sure I do not work in the front office😂

[@donovan1971]

Too funny. I love that he's one of us. 🇨🇦😮

[@two-nine7730]

Kinda strange,being a long time Expo,now Blue Jay fan I can't help but watch these Reds. The reason is Votto.He realises what he is and what he has to do.He knows it easily could have been gone and his knowledge and integrity he will pass on to the kids.His team mates I hope will embrace his ethics on and off the field.

[@Michael-Philip]

Votto is from Toronto

[@christopherhoffman2515]

Joey Votto seems like a good dude, coming from a Pirates fan.

[@artpekarekiii4320]

Being a Cardinals fan since 1983, it's nice to see the Reds get their day under the sun. Great job Reds!!!! If we can't support each other, there is no point in this amazing pass time sport. I hope you guys go deep! Gotta respect Votto. It's great to give thanks to everyone that plays the game.

[@doobielawson702]

Dodger fan, Joey is awesome. I saw him play at Dodger Stadium in '09 I believe. He went deep. His personality, though, is spectacular.

[@miserablecardinalsfan]

this is the greatest thing i've ever seen

[@hawksprizepicks6570]

Joey still looking good! I hope he’s got another couple more years 💪🏼

[@hyuckbang9019]

A national treasure, period.

[@patriciavince2214]

Love him and my Reds!

[@chadrides914]

Votto is what baseball needs. Hehehe what a stud.

[@tedkrillies5326]

How can you not like Votto! He’s hilarious and fun to watch

[@weirdalpopovich]

what he said about how early on he felt because of the older thinking of baseball he was more closed off is the greatest change to the game for me, i love knowing these guys better

[@jtb5867]

Great interview!

[@onlydbrasko]

Votto is so ready to become an analyst.

[@garycondon7719]

And the sooner the better 😂

There are at least two distinct personalities living within this individual. Both are entertaining.

[@elbob17]

Totally. I get that.

[@freethink654]

I love this man

[@toyota_4_the_winsoto427]

Votto is a real G. Hell yea!

If Sean Casey was The Mayor, Joey would be The Prime Minister.

[@alanbrooks9618]

Wow, this was so great to see as a lone Reds fan in Bama.

He is great. Always love his approach. Especially at-bats….

There were so many good hitters during his prime, he still went to 6 AS games.

I'm not even a Reds fan I'm a Rays fan but man love Votto.

As a brewer fan …. Votto in now my favorite player .

[@frankjoseph4273]

Does anybody remember long ago when Joey had 40+ doubles halfway through the season, What were the stats, any records ?

[@mountcomfort740]

I love Joey going to miss him when he is nolonger a Red

Could be one of the best "people" in the game today. Forget the flashy young kids, give me Votto everyday. Great stuff!

This guy should be one of the faces of baseball. Had no idea he was this personable.

[@davidkitchens4790]

Watching it dawn on Russo’s face was hilarious

[@sciencereactions8221]

Votto is the kinda guy you want to sit on a porch with and drink coffee and talk about punk music.

[@markd8469]

He’s Canadian. He would rather sit in the shed drinking Molson Canadian talking about the Tragically Hip

In an alternative universe he's the top guy in the wwe lol

[@darcygross410]

He's a national treasure in Canada.

[@sacratomato7]

Well, I don't love that "Mad Dog" guy as much as Votto says he does ... but I think Votto is hands down one of the greatest personalities in the game. I hope he has one hell of a comeback in these last weeks of the season.

[@Just_A_Name14]

Always liked this guy. Stand up dude.

[@danielpenamusic6924]

This is so funny!

[@iroc341]

As an avid Cardinals fan, I must admit that I always thought Votto was a jerk. Just because he always looked pissed on the field! Has a scowl. Then they miked him up playing the cards. Joey is a great guy! Funny as hell. And a hell of a player. Get him Joey!

[@sgtelias2258]

He has two sides to him and your first viewpoint wasn't inaccurate. He's volatile, huge temper, says some very unsportsmanlike things about other teams, and let's not get into his interactions with opposing fans. But then there is this other side.

[@herbwilde]

This is professional wrestling good. BRAVO

[@chrisweidner4768]

Always wished he were on the Cardinals.

[@miserablecardinalsfan]

same bro

[@pujols051able]

I want to see a conversation between Votto and Pujols on hitting, that would be priceless

Pretty sure she had no idea what was going on and I think votto was joking 6/10

Votto is great. Hope he does TV when he hangs up the cleats.

Cuts a promo like Flair!

[@joshkester7684]

Did they know Votto was going to do this? Russo was trying not to laugh but she started to seem bothered

[@KramericaIndustries7]

I need / baseball needs / the world needs a "VottoDay Night Live" show, a baseball/sketch/singing&dancing (?)/ doesn't matter mashup-show as long as it stars this Golden Red.
