Knowing he'll need to have a LeBron-like season to make his rebuilding Cincinnati Reds watchable, Joey Votto has begun incorporating King James' pregame routine into his game day preparation.
Votto channeled his fellow Ohioan superstar ahead of the Reds' exhibition tilt against the Indians on Saturday, treating the fans at Goodyear Ballpark in Arizona to his rendition of James' famous chalk toss.
The four-time All-Star and NL MVP is performing to his usual standards this spring, hitting .351/.458/.514 with two homers in 16 games.
