Must See: Joey Votto's Biggest (& Littlest) Fan Meets Her Hero!

Forget steroids and sticky stuff. THIS is what baseball should be all about.

We were all saddened to see tearful Abigail on Saturday after her first-ever trip to a baseball game was spoiled in the first inning when her favorite player Joey Votto got ejected by the home plate umpire. And then we learned that the Reds and Votto came through with a signed ball for her.

The story is not complete until you see the moment Abigail met her hero!
