Joey Votto hasn’t popped out to the infield this season, and other insane stats
Prior to his NL MVP season in 2010, there were many baseball fans who had never heard of Joey Votto.

It’s just like two years never passed, and not just because the Reds are atop the division again (albeit feeling much less green this time around). I’m also talking about my RHM inbox, which features four emails that I’ve been holding on to since 2010. I was neck-deep in MBA coursework then, so I just held on to them thinking, “someday…”
I figure it’s now or never...
