PITTSBURGH – A fan literally gave Joey Votto the shirt off his back Sunday – in exchange for a jersey, of course.

Votto spotted a fan at PNC Park wearing a "Votto for President " shirt.

"He was sitting in the second or third row," Votto said. "It's an old shirt. One of my sponsors is Nike. I think it's a Nike shirt. I spotted it. I've been trying to find it for a while.

"I was excited to give a jersey for a shirt. He obliged and took the shirt off in the middle of stands.

"Thanks to him."

Votto was going to show reporters the shirt.

"But I think it's being washed,' he said. "It had the Nike logo on it. I'm not really strongly certain that it's a Nike product. I think it's good a bit old. I think it's a 2012 shirt."
