Votto Sick but Playing

They were going to send NL MVP Joey Votto home with upper respiratory discomfort but he felt good enough to participate in live batting practice and other baseball activity planned for the day.

"He called me last night and said he felt discomfort in his chest," Dusty Baker told the press.  "I told him to come in and have the doctor look at him, then we'll send him home.  We don't want to get the other guys infected."

After the doctor saw him Votto felt well enough to play.

"This is a great area (for breathing do to low humidity) but some people have trouble with the dust," Baker said.
