Yes, he's my second cousin. I was actually working with his father Tim last year in getting him signed to a supplement agreement last year but he was still playing in minors. With the way he's hitting now and his promotion to the major leagues, he doesn't need much help anymore as practically every company out there is wanting to sign him for endorsements...hell, Nike is about to sign him pretty soon I'm really proud of him and I'll be going to a few of his games in a few months.
I've seen him. Kid is impressive.
Definitely, Tim runs one of the most intensive baseball programs out there, Elite Metro Sports. He doesn't just teach hitting balls but every single aspect of the game from running, fielding, strategy, etc. Otis Nixon also teaches on occasion but his brother Donell who also played in the MLB works with Tim daily. Other than the one time I was working with Tim in getting a supplement endorsement, I have no involvement in the business organization nor do I bring it up with people to avoid any conflicts of interest or accusations due to my known past history of selling steroids. Simply put, I love my family and I don't want my past history to affect the business organization in any way whatsoever so I do keep my distance.
Vince what is this known history of selling steroids? Do you mean prohormones? Bee pollen?
Vince is pleading the 5th on that question. He has already stated that he is keeping himself at distance.
No bigger Tigers fan on this board than myself.
He certainly has been a great find. Why the Twins gave up on him so early is anyones guess.The pros:Switch hitterHuge power from the left sideRuns better than averagePlays Multiple positionsThe cons:Doesn't play any single position very well (hopefully that will change)Is particularly horrible at the corner infield positions.I like Vince G. and I don't want to sound like Vince B. but he's been in the big leagues for about 6 weeks now and is hitting 250 with 5 home runs. Not very likely that Nike or any other major sponsor has even contacted him yet. He's actually coming up to bat now.....Will update later.

He was signed to the Twins in 2010. He's been blasting Homer's in the minors. It's not my concern as that's his business but Nike signs many people from the minors and majors. He's already got deals from other companies
I'll take your word for it. Comerica Park is tough on homerun hitters and I'll tell you that none of his homers thus far have been cheap. He has a great swing from the left side. Best of luck.
He doesn’t have to hit a ton of home runs. Just make contact, singles and doubles. Don’t swing at bad pitches. Get on base. Steal bases. Get into scoring position. Score runs.
Vince Goodrum, CSN, MFT, HPP, CEO, likely has direct connections to the Illuminati and the New World Order.
That goes without saying. That being said, cousin Niko just laced a ground rule double in addition to his mammoth home run.
