1. I have said many times over the years that every Major League Baseball player should be miked up for every single game.
Obviously, this is a tad extreme, and I’d be happy with one or two players miked up for every game.
So I was thrilled to see Reds first baseman Joey Votto miked up for Thursday’s Opening Day game against the Braves. I was shocked to see that Votto was also interviewed DURING THE GAME.
This will help “grow” baseball way more than absurd streaming deals that shut out local fans, but I’m not going to write about that.
