Votto honors WWI poem for Players` Weekend
(MLB.com Cincinnati Reds)

Whether he`s doing something on the field, answering a question off the field or in making most decisions, it`s very likely that Reds first baseman Joey Votto has put in a lot of thought before acting. Votto`s choice for a Players` Weekend nickname nickname underscored that again. He chose to put In Flanders Fields above his No. 19. It`s the title of a 1915 Canadian poem written by a military doctor named John McCrae during World War I.
