I get notes from a lot of folks. Here is one received today....
I walk 10 miles in Cincinnati to eat at my favorite grotto,
I sign autographs along the way, yep that's me, Joey Votto,
I walk everywhere, my favorite is the first base line.
I patrol the strike zone, that strike zone is mine.
I catch shit for taking one, two many walks.
I say screw you! It's my game, you box 'o rocks!
I am in the top 10 of three categories, that are roto.
Eat Shit and screw you Dan Kenyon! See those stats? Take a photo!
I've listened to your shit for years.
I could care less as my landmark nears.
I am on my way to drawing 1,000 walks,
I've felt like you've given me that many knocks.
I'm proud, proud to be a walking as much as I can,
Yep, like Ted, the Babe, and Stan the Man,
And probably much to your damned chagrin,
Not only am I walking, but I'm hitting, just like them.
Admit you were wrong, that I can walk AND hit,
Admit you were wrong, do it with your dimmed wit,
Yes, admit you were wrong, I am leading in not one, not two, but three categories.
Yes, admit you were wrong! Screw you Dan Kenyon! Put THAT in one of your stories!
Screw You Dan Kenyon!
Screw You Dan Kenyon!
On my tombstone-
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
Wait! I never had the perfect draft!
