🙏 PRAYER TIME FOR A VALLEY LEGEND 🙏 Fresno Bee sportswriting legend Andy Boogaard suffered a severe stroke with brain bleeding on July 11. He spent five days in the ICU and is now in a rehabilitation hospital facing a long, difficult road to recovery. The Hanford native dedicated 41 years to The Fresno Bee before retiring in 2017. For generations of athletes, coaches, parents, and sports fans across the Valley, AB wasn’t just a sportswriter, he was a part of our lives. To the athletes playing today, you will never truly know what it was like to wake up on a Saturday morning and see an @AndyBoog19 story about your Friday night lights game. Seeing your name in his column was something special. He made you feel like your game mattered. Andy told the stories of our athletes, our teams, and our communities for decades. Now it’s our turn to tell his story and to lift him up in prayer. Please join me in praying for Sir Andy Boogaard, a true Valley sports legend and Hall of Famer. We are all pulling for you, AB! 🙏🙏🏈⚾️🏀🥎 – at Fresno, CA
