The story about my friendship with Roger Maris has appeared in publications such as Sports Illustrated, Readers Digest, and Chicken Soup for the Baseball Fan’s Soul. But the most memorable, amazing, remarkable, incredible and sentimental part of the story is not that I caught Maris’ 1st National League homer but rather it starts with the phone call I received on August 3, 1990 from Roger’s son Randy and his wife Fran. They called from a hospital in Gainesville, Florida to tell me that Fran had just given birth to a baby boy…and they were going to name the boy Andrew and wanted me to be Andrew’s godfather. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that my childhood idols’ grandson would be my name sake and godson. Join me in wishing Andrew a Happy Birthday!
