The Craziest Player in MLB History...

[@Under510]

I'm sure we will see him on TV for many years to come! One of the funniest players ever!

[@3-0Greenlight]

For sure!

[@VioletDeliriums]

Not a Reds fan...But LOVED watching Joey Votto...And I loved when, after being ejected and the girl cried, he gave her free tickets and met her the next day. I am glad you showed that one! :)

jovo is a cool person his prime stats were absolutely unfathomable like the show on easy mode or something good quality video young man

@@nobeardthepirate9172 from looking at their numbers they were virtually identical in everything, actually pretty crazy. slight edge in WAR to Pujols though

[@3-0Greenlight]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@3-0Greenlight]

At that point voters liked to also include how the team did. I think the reason why Votto won by a wide margin is because they won the Central and it was the first time in the playoffs in a while.

Had a blast reliving Votto's career. It's strange not to see him playing... And when you get to the part, yes that is actually him singing 😂

[@milesbaillie1011]

I was really hoping to see him play for the Jays, even if it was just a few games. But sometimes you gotta just listen to what your body tells you. What a career he had.

[@jerryhamer]

As a blue jay fan I was so bummed to not even see him play one game in our uniform but I admire him even more after saying he didnt want a curtousy at bat he wanted to bring it all to the table and to not dissapoint himself or our fanbase he tried to wait until he could fully play but unfortunetly that never came. True Baseball player and a great team player, he has all my respect and deserves a future HOF nominee

Great video! I didn’t know much about JV until I watched this. Thanks for the stellar production and posting it.

Joey voto is a national treasure

[@conedx]

votto's interactions with fans alone make him a hall of famer. whether messing with opposing fans or being just the best with home fans. i'm still not over him playing for a non-reds team. i can't believe the reds front office didn't do anything they possibly could to keep him around.

[@crazycano18]

I wish he could've won a WS...

[@3-0Greenlight]

Agreed!

[@RachelMartin-sk4ge]

Joey Votto was and is a baseball legend. We were blessed to be in Cincinnati to experience his greatness.

[@iskander0725]

I want everyone to know I'm mostly doing this because I know he'd hate it, and that makes me happy. Cubs fan here. I actually love this guy. He is an absolute Chad. Out of all the marquee talent that floated through the North over the years, and it has been plenty, trust me. Joey Votto is the only non-Cub I just can't dislike. Pujols? Stole all of A-Ram's great years with the Cubs because he's a god of baseball. Dislike him. Fielder? Dislike him. Killer B's? Dislike them. Dislike all of them. I could do this all day. Joey just... Man, everything he did on the baseball field in his prime was made to look so effortless. Joey Votto just made hitting look too easy. He got the stingy ass Reds to open up the checkbook and give him that well deserved extension.

[@3-0Greenlight]

Haha he definitely would hate that 😂

[@danr154]

Only signed bobblehead I have....I too am a Cubs fan. And Votto killed the Cubs just as hard as Ian Happ kills the Reds. Cmoonnnn bro how can you hate Prince Fielder though! His story was sad, didnt deserve what happened to him. Seeing him cry made me want to cry too it was awful.

Appreciate the video on our Canadian icon, but Votto did not grow up in a "small Canadian town". He grew up in metro Toronto proper - North America's 4th largest city, only trailing Mexico City, NYC and LA. Toronto is larger than Chicago.

[@3-0Greenlight]

Long time Cubs killer! Hated when cubs played him just because he always made an impact. Much respect for Votto.

[@brynnplant]

I had no idea he struggled with panic attacks. Anyone who's had them knows how terrifying it is, and really hard to deal with. Coming back from that shows what a strong person he is mentally.

[@geaxe]

"Small Canadian Town" Might want to look that up again since Etobicoke is far from small since it's literally Toronto (2,794,356 people lol).

Just to clear it up. I made a mistake of where Votto grew up. I thought he lived in a small suburb outside of Toronto. Disregard that, he lived in the city.

Saw him in Double A and watched him utterly destroy the Huntsville Stars pitching staff. Knew then he’d be an MLB star.

"Small Canadian town" of Etobicoke, right in the middle of Toronto, the 4th most populous city in North America! ;)

That is true. I mistook the information I read and thought he grew up in a suburb outside the city.

[@danr154]

hey to be fair, Soto had a deserving rookie year he hit like .285 with 26 or 28 home runs. Votto wasnt robbed of rookie of the year. Soto was also a catcher and the Cubs led the NL in wins that year.

Small town? He grew up in Etobicoke which is a neighborhood in Toronto. Toronto is the third largest City in North America behind Mexico City, NY and LA.

That's my mistake. I know Toronto is a big city. I misread the information and thought he grew up in a suburb outside the city, not in it. I will do better next time and pay attention more.

[@rgschackelford]

Best first basemen of his generation? Joey is my favorite player ever, but he played in the same generation with Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera.

[@3-0Greenlight]

Both those guys were more 2000s. Cabrera had such a poor ending to the 2010s that I think Votto takes it. He had most WAR among 1B during that time and was more consistent.
