Joey Votto Apologizes for 'Selfish' Comments on James Paxton's No-Hitter

Joey Votto apologized for comments he made about James Paxton's recent no-hitter.

In a letter for Canadian Baseball Network, the Reds star said he was "not sure how I could have been so ridiculously selfish and short-sighted in my reply."

Votto said when he was asked about baseball in Canada, the Blue Jays and the no-hitter, "it took me back to the times and my resentment for not making Team Canada in high school, not being drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays out of high school, or not being picked for the Olympic team while in the minor leagues.
