Votto an All-Star

OTTAWA- Joey Votto (Etobicoke, ON) has been voted in by the fans to the All- Star Game taking place in Anaheim on July 13^th. It wasn’t easy for the first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds who was chosen as the final player for the National League roster. Votto’s season has been anything but ‘last player’ status this year, Votto has put up MVP type numbers, hitting at a .314 clip to go along with 22 homeruns and 60 RBI’s.

Votto will be joining fellow Canadian Justin Morneau (New Wesminster, BC) as All-Stars this year. Morneau was voted by the fans as the starting first baseman for the American League side. Both players have represented Canada internationally, most recently when the pair were members of the 2009 World Baseball Classic club.
