PLAYERS: Joey Votto
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds
Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto and Pittsburgh-based PLB Sports have created a cereal. Of course they would be called VottO’s. VottO’s are honey nut toasted oat cereal, packaged in a 14-ounce limited edition collector’s box with Votto on the cover. The cereal is on sale now exclusively at Cincinnati and Dayton-area Kroger stores. Votto’s cereal is the latest athlete-endorsed product from PLB Sports. Last year, former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco launched Ochocinco’s. And earlier this spring it launched Justin Verlander’s Fastball Flakes in Detroit. Votto will be at the Newport Kroger Marketplace at noon April 3 to introduce the cereal.
