Joey Votto heaves foul ball into stands (Video)

Something got into Joey Votton on Monday night.

The Cincinnati Reds first baseman had a funny display during his team’s game against the Chicago Cubs. Votto fielded a foul ball and instead of giving the ball to a fan or umpire like most players do, he decided to launch the ball into the stands:

What was that all about? We’re trying to figure out what was more bizarre: Votto’s heave, or Joe Maddon playing four people in the outfield to defend against Votto:

Joe Maddon has gone to a four-outfielder alignment with Joey Votto at the plate.
