## Resource

Joey Votto, baseball legend and Reds icon, is making waves beyond the diamond—stepping into media with bold takes on one of baseball’s most controversial debates: Should players who used steroids be in the Hall of Fame? On MLB Now, Votto challenged the notion of cheating, arguing that if steroids were widespread during the PED era, the definition of “cheating” shifts. He also questioned the league’s hypocrisy—profiting from the era while now seeking to punish those involved. His nuanced, generational perspective sparks a vital conversation about fairness, accountability, and how we judge athletes across time.
