Man Meat Monday #20

As much as I miss football this time of year, I usually try my best to embrace the situation at hand: baseball season.

So, friends, I bring you...

Joey Votto



Claim to Fame: First baseman for the Cincinnati Reds

Birthday: September 10, 1983

There isn't too much to say about Joey. He's integral to my favorite baseball team, one of the best first basemen in the MLB, and oh yeah - he's beautiful. Born and raised in Toronto, Joey was drafted out of high school in the second round by the Reds. After spending a few years playing in the minors, Joey was called up for his first major league game in 2007. The rest is history.

Not only is Joey a Cincinnati fan favorite, but he was voted MVP for the National League (by nearly a unanimous vote) last year. Luckily, the Reds know a good thing when they see it - they reached a three-year, $38 million agreement with him in January. This means one thing for me: Unlimited drooling at Reds' games until 2013.

Random Tidbit: Despite being Canadian, Joey never really liked hockey. This fact could also double as his 'only downfall.'

Only downfall?: I have seen a youtube video of Joey blantantly ignoring a kid who asked him for his autograph. My soul crumbled and I tried to push it out of my memory, but I can't.

On the other hand, here is a youtube video I could watch endlessly.



So, readers: It's your turn. What base would you go to with Joey Votto?

...cause I'm pretty sure I'd let him hit a delicious walk-off homerun.




Seriously, watch his reaction. Perfect.
