Joey Votto revealed his Taylor Swift-inspired walk-up song list
Joey Votto unveiled his new walk-up song list on Saturday, which includes many Taylor Swift songs. He posted his list on Twitter to share it with his followers.
Votto tweeted:
"Alright, thanks for today's suggestions. Tomorrow's lineup: All Too Well (10 min version) from 1:30, Cruel Summer from the 28-second mark, Shake it Off at the 40-second mark, and Mean at the 32-second mark. Whatcha think?"
Votto debuted in the MLB in 2007 with the Reds. Since Larry Walker, he is the only MLB player from Canada to have hit 300 home runs and driven in 1,000 runs. Votto is the second Canadian to get 2,000 hits; Walker was the first.
Votto, a six-time MLB All-Star, also won the Tip O'Neill Award seven times and the Lou Marsh Trophy twice as Canada's sportsman of the year. Furthermore, he received the NL Hank Aaron Award and the NL MVP Award in 2010.
