Joey Votto is the 2nd greatest Red of all time, and I'll listen to arguments that he's better than Frank. We have 1 more season of him. I hope we get to appreciate him for his greatness. (Yes, he's better than Pete, Joe, Tony, George, Johnny. Yes he really is.)

If we assume Votto is a HoF, the @Reds will have had a HoF on the roster ever season since 1955. 66 straight seasons. Coincidentally, 1955 was one of only 2 seasons for the Reds to have a pair of 40 Hr players (Klu & Post).
