Meet The New Guy: Henry Godbout
Who is he and where did he come from?
He’s the delightfully named Henry Godbout, and while he sounds like he comes from the pages of a Martin Amis novel, he actually comes to us from Brooklyn, New York via the University of Virginia. The Sox drafted him on Sunday with the 75th overall pick.
Despite the fact that he grew up in New York City, Godbout was raised a Red Sox fan by his New Englander father. That’s right — we’ve got ourselves a reverse Ben Rice on our hands! On the night he was drafted, he even shared a picture of his 3-year old self visiting Fenway in full Sox gear:
The fact that, even at age 3, he knew you could never go wrong with a soft serve twist bodes well for his baseball IQ.
