Last month, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto wrote an essay about his awakening on racial issues and vowed not to stay silent going forward.
Now the Reds are taking part in Summer Training in preparation for the shortened 60-game season, and on Tuesday Votto took to the field in a Black Lives Matter shirt.
It might have only been batting practice, but the 6-time All-Star and 2010 NL MVP used that time to get a message out.
Votto said he wouldn’t keep quiet anymore and he meant it.
