Mets announcer Rose: Joey Votto has 'big future in broadcasting' if he so chooses
Reds first baseman Joey Votto drew rave reviews for his conversation with Fox play-by-play announcer Joe Davis and analyst John Smoltz during Thursday's MLB at Field of Dreams Game, just as he did when he was miked up on ESPN2 for Cincinnati's season-opener against the Braves in Atlanta.
New York Mets radio play-by-play announcer Howie Rose was so impressed with Votto's effort that Rose suggested Votto "would seem to have a big future in broadcasting" after his playing career, if he so chooses.
From Rose via Twitter:
Just watched the segment with @JoeyVotto from last night’s Field of Dreams game. This was fabulous. Joey would seem to have a big future in broadcasting if he chooses that post playing path. I hope he does. Great insight and very likeable. https://t.co/C12D7SEOLa

"I'm out here at first base in the middle of a Major League game, and I've got nothing to do right now. So I'm going to tell a little story," Votto said, before sharing a story about Smoltz.
From Votto late Thursday via Twitter:
Thank you Dyersville, Iowa. What an all-time experience. You built it, we came ❤️
