Votto Thinks we are Watching Baseball History
Joey Votto joined the show and reflected on life after baseball, discussing his travels around the world and even completing an eight-week sushi chef course. Votto explained that traveling reminds you quickly that you’re not special. The conversation eventually turned to Shohei Ohtani. Votto believes we may currently be witnessing the greatest season in baseball history. He compared Ohtani’s dominance to icons like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, while also recalling the surreal moment Ohtani hit a home run after learning he needed Tommy John surgery. The former MVP also shared why he would be concerned about automated balls and strikes if he was still playing, emphasizing how important selflessness and team-first thinking remain inside a clubhouse.
