Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto joined elite company - namely, Johnny Bench, Tony Pérez, Pete Rose and Frank Robinson - by becoming the fifth player in franchise history to drive in 1,000 runs in a Reds uniform with his solo home run in the bottom of the third inning off of San Diego Padres starter Joe Musgrove into Great American Ball Park's Sun/Moon Deck in right field Wednesday night to give the Reds a 5-3 lead in a 7-5 rain-shortened loss.
Bally Sports Ohio analyst and National Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin, who finished his MLB career - played in its entirety with the Reds - just shy of 1,000 RBIs with 960 reacted as follows: "Wow! Wow, wow and wow! Curtain call with the dab - that is alright."
Social media reactions:
Votto's home run was his 10th of the season.
