MILWAUKEE – Joey Votto is 37 years old, a future Hall of Fame candidate and he’s inspired by his teammates.
He told rookie Jonathan India that he admired how India showed his passion on his first career homer earlier this year. He’s had conversations with Nick Castellanos, Tyler Naquin and India about how they’re always hustling on the basepaths.
Votto launched a two-run homer to the second deck in right field Monday at American Family Field, his third homer of the week and crucial insurance runs in a 10-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers, but he was more proud of everything that happened after his ninth-inning single.
