About Andrew »

I am Andrew Godfrey and have followed baseball since 1955 when the Dodgers defeated the Yankees in the World Series. I have seen Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Yogi Berra, Roberto Clemente, Harmon Killebrew, Nolan Ryan and many others play in Kansas City, Arlington, Philadelphia and Houston. I am a Braves fan but try to not let that show in my writing.

    Hey Andrew,

    The BBWAA displayed criminal ineptitude in the NL Cy Young vote. Check out the article, if you get the chance:

    Hey Andrew,

    I'm writing articles on the MLB 9s and thought you'd be interested in the Atlanta Braves' piece.

    For all of those out there who say baseball should have a salary cap, prepare to have some knowledge dropped on you.

    The NY Yankees and the media are trying to manipulate you.

    Yankee propaganda must be exposed as lies and crushed before it can spread any further.
