What Bally Sports Ohio broadcasters said during Reds-Blue Jays about Joey Votto retiring

“Certainly one of the most unique players, perhaps the most unique player I have ever covered,” Day said during the broadcast. “And it was a pleasure all those years. Joey Votto, from Reds fans, thank you. … Joey Votto, a storied career has come to an end.”

“All the best to Joey, as the Reds are here in Toronto,” Sadak added. “It feels full circle in some ways. And that man made for a lot of highlight moments, and for a generation of Red fans, he was the face of the franchise.”

“And he was a Reds type of player too,” Welsh said. “Because in my mind, anyway, Joey Votto was a self-made man. He made himself into a major league hitter, and one of the best ever, by working so hard.”
