Votto’s debut game was a delight, though. He wasn’t even that good last year! It was definitely not preordained that everything would work out. The infield was already packed with contributors, and Votto might lead the team to some tough playing time decisions they didn’t really want to make. But I won’t lie to you: I was worried that he might not fit in as well as hoped. I started to get excited when Joey Votto’s goofy bus driver persona resurfaced. All these kids are fun, but they were missing the team’s best player in a generation while he rehabbed in preparation for what will almost certainly be his last ride. As fun as it’s been to see the baby Reds gain confidence and romp to the top of the NL Central, there was something missing. The Reds are so much fun that I thought about making an entire five things column out of things I’m loving in Cincinnati these days, but I think we just call that an article, so I’m going to settle for writing about one of the best parts of their recent winning streak.
