Here's what Joey Votto thought of Caminero's 38-second home run trot

Cincinnati Reds legend Joey Votto expressed his admiration for Junior Caminero's impressive 38-second home run celebration during Game 7 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians. Votto, speaking on MLB Network's MLB Now, stated that he was thrilled by the moment, describing it as "game-changing" and "season-changing." Caminero, a Dominican baseball player, was seen as a young man on the brink of reaching the World Series, and Votto believed that his exuberant celebration, while excessive according to some, was a beautiful display of passion and enthusiasm for the game and his country.

Votto acknowledged that Caminero's celebration was not a regular occurrence during the regular season, but rather a special moment during a pivotal game. He disagreed with broadcaster Chris Mad Dog Russo's assertion that Caminero's celebration was excessive, emphasizing that players like Caminero deserve such celebrations after facing the challenges and risks of playing the game at such a high level.
