An illustrious and entertaining baseball career came to an end this week when former Cincinnati Reds star and 2010 National League MVP Joey Votto officially announced his retirement. The 40-year-old first baseman signed a minor league contract with his hometown Toronto Blue Jays this offseason after 17 years as a Red, but battled injuries this year and never made an appearance with Toronto. Votto is beloved in Cincinnati not just because of his 2,135 hits and 356 home runs, but for his goofy personality off of the field as well. When his contract ran out after the 2023 season, Votto left Cincinnati as the franchise leader in walks (1,365), second in HR’s and third in RBI’s (1,144).

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Votto ends his career with six All-Star appearances and a Gold Glove to go along with his MVP award. With that being said, can you name the last player from each MLB team to win MVP? Remember, the Diamondbacks, Mets and Rays don’t have a player to win the award. 

Good luck!
