5 MLB players who would be great pro wrestling heroes
By Kevin Henry
Flashback to June 19 and Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto getting ejected from a game in the first inning. A young fan who attended the game wasn’t pleased to see her favorite player ejected and what transpired after that was absolutely perfect.
Let’s look at the connection between Joey Votto and this fan in three acts…

Joey Votto’s feelings for the fans would be great in the ring
Come on, is there a better storyline for a wrestling hero than that? He sees someone sad and makes their day better. He brings a smile to a face while shoving the negative emotions to the side. That seems like someone who could rush to the ring and make everything right, doesn’t it?
Of course, there are plenty of things that Votto has done on the field throughout his amazing career to make people cheer. But he’s also shown that he can connect with people … and give amazing interviews.
Yes, give that man a microphone in the middle of the ring and let him talk.
