The Reds legend explained why he chose to retire from MLB.
Despite Votto's attempt to play another season in 2024 after latching on with his hometown Toronto Blue Jays, the 40-year-old opted to hang up the cleats on Wednesday.
"There was some big moments in Buffalo that I heard groans after outs. When I was playing for Louisville last year, groans or dissatisfaction after outs in big situations," Votto began. Votto goes down as one of the greatest player in Reds' franchise history. He hit 356 career home runs along with a .920 OPS and .294 batting average. He was the league leader in OBP across seven seasons and racked up more than 2,000 hits and 1,300 walks in his career.
