About

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 (Niteowl). I can't believe I found you on Bleacher Report. I just became a fan of yours, so expect a few comments from me.

    I've also decided to write some more.

    I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you're doing well...

    Hey Andrew,

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