Joey Votto has always worn his love for Cincinnati on his sleeve -- now, he's made it permanent with a new tattoo.
Votto posted a picture of his new ink on Instagram.
"An ode to the city I love: The Queen City," Votto wrote. "This tattoo features the distinct Cincinnati skyline and a map of the city. The hearts represent places that hold deep meaning to me: GABP, Freestore Foodbank, Cincinnati Childrens, and The Reds Youth Academy. Now, no matter where life takes me, the city I love will always be with me."
Over 17 seasons with the Reds, Votto compiled an impressive .294 batting average, 356 home runs, 1,144 RBIs, and a .409 on-base percentage across 2,056 games.
