Can you believe it? It is episode number 56 of the Chris Rose rotation, a production of John Boy

Media. As you can probably see, I'm still in Las Vegas. We're in the middle of shooting

battlebots. So that means today no co-host, but I got a very special guest, Joey Votto of the

Cincinnati Reds. That's right, the 2010 National League MVP,

the guy that had a run where he had seven straight games with a homer, the guy that did the

Jamie Tart, yeah, point at my name from Ted Lassow sort of stuff. Now, we've known for years that

Joey Votto is one of the best interviews in

baseball. But in this particular format, and I've interviewed Joey a bunch, he is legendary. He

zigs, he zags, he makes me laugh, he makes me cry a little bit, he makes me think more than anything

else. I know you're going to love this with Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds.
