Joey Votto Gets Upset With Fan Signs Ball As Apology - RealGM Wiretap
Joey Votto briefly engaged with a fan while attempting to catch a foul ball along the first-base line in the top of the seventh inning at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday night.
Votto was thwarted from catching the ball when he made contact with a fan in a Reds shirt who was also going for the ball. He briefly stared at the fan before grabbing at the Reds logo on the man's shirt http://www.teamparissaintgermainshop.com/Authentic-Kevin-Trapp-Jersey/ , presumably pointing out that the fan should attempt to stay out of the way of the home team's defense.
The fan eventually got a signed ball and an apology from Votto.
"I made a mistake crossing the stands-field boundary," he said. "I misplayed it http://www.teamparissaintgermainshop.com/Authentic-Jese-Jersey/ , and I took my frustration out on the fan. I felt bad about it. He apologized, but I was the one who should've been apologizing to him for bullying him."
