Reds fans never forgave this player for stealing Joey Votto’s Silver Slugger Award

Joey Votto is not only one of the greatest hitters in Cincinnati Reds history, but in baseball as a whole. The Reds' first baseman had a dominant prime that saw him rack up six All-Star selections, a Gold Glove, and the 2010 NL MVP trophy.

Votto was an on-base machine who led the league in on-base percentage seven times over his illustrious 17-year career. Even as he was slowed by injuries and age at the end, he retired with a .409 career on-base percentage and a .920 OPS.

Despite all of his well-deserved accolades, there was one thing that always eluded Votto: the Silver Slugger Award.
