Joey Votto's back with the photo shoot of the year

Well, with players reporting for Spring Training, Votto made sure to announce his presence with authority.

There are Photo Day photos and then there's what Votto did. Annie Leibovitz couldn't have done better.

Votto struggled with the worst offensive season of his career last year, but with confidence like this, the sky's the limit.
