I think WAR is great, but is it the only metric you look at to determine a player’s worth? It’s not a perfect science.

Obviously he’s not obligated. I’m saying, if it’s a close call, the smart thing to do is to call it a ball - no swing, and let them appeal to someone with a better view of the swing.

One of my most memorable nights at the ballpark, for sure. And to cap it off with fireworks with the family is always good summer fun!

That's fair. "Terrible" was overstatement due to a lifetime of emotional trauma caused by watching the Reds waffle between horrible and average.

He was terrible, and so was that team. Reds fans always look back on it with such fondness, for some reason.

30+ years of going to ball games and never got a ball hit to me. Then, in 2018, I got a Votto home run ball, and then less than two weeks later got a Wilmer Flores home run ball.
