Andrew Godbold: OPRF Graduate, Dodgers Prospect, Nice Guy gave me a house visit

Oak Park, IL-- Andrew Godbold graduated from my high school (Oak Park and River Forest High School) in 2010 and was well regarded by our OPRF Baseball organization and got very little college attention and ended up going to Junior College and got picked up by Southeastern Louisiana University and really proved him self and got drafted by the Dodgers in 23rd round of the 2014 MLB First Year Player Draft. A couple weeks ago I reached out to to Andrew on Instagram and I told him that I had designed some custom cards of him and he told me I could send him the cards sent c/o Ogden or meet him in person. I decided to meet him in person and he said he could come over to my house and I said ok and last Thursday he came over and signed my 12 customs and I gave him some of the extras that I printed. Today he came back to my house and I made him 40 cards and gave him some of my business cards to take to Instructs for the Dodgers and I hope to hear back from some of those players.

Here are some of the gifts he brought me.

 He signed Official Pioneer League Game-Used ball on the sweetspot #50
 All three things he brought me including his game used Home-Run bat signed, yes one of the home runs he hit he used this bat. And the 2014 Teamset card for ogden.
Here is a close up of the signature and the bat he gave me.
