Howdy everyone... It's good to be back. We had to take a little break to get that sour taste of the 2013 ALDS out of our mouths and get ready for the draft. So we grabbed an ice cream, went fishing, played a little b-ball on an 8ft hoop... you know, the whole 9 yards.... But today, we're back to kick this thing off on this this off in accordance with the 2013 MLB Draft.

In case you don't want to sift through 20ish pages of action, I highly recommend you brief yourself with the following synopsis or you probably "haven't the foggiest" of what we're about to do here in the 2014 installment of the McGovern Manifesto.
2013
Fresh out of the navy following World War 2, George McGovern moved back to his native Georgia and proceeded to construct a massive 5 and dime empire... Things seemed to be going well for McGovern until he got a call from an old navy buddy by the name of Ewing Kauffman who persuaded McGovern to help him with his pharmacy business in exchange for a great reward.
For roughly the next decade, McGovern assisted Kauffman at the expense of his 5 and dime empire until 1994 when Mr. Kauffman passed away. In his will, he had left McGovern the Kansas City Royals. Despite the fact that McGovern had lost most of his empire to the villainous Sam Walton, things began to look up until Walton's favorite henchman David Glass stole the Kansas City Royals from George McGovern, casting him into financial ruin...
Fastforward a decade later and George McGovern lives in Georgia running his 5 and dime store while also working as a "secret scout" of of sorts for Dayton Moore. Close to homelessness, McGovern gambled his remaining money to purchase the Kansas City Royals placing it in the hands of a Mr. Bo Jackson.
On the field, the Royals would start out slow this season but everything would eventually click and the Royals made the playoffs as a Wild Card team behind the bats of Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer. However their Cinderella run in the postseason would be short lived as they made an exit from the ALDS in an epic 16 inning Game 5...
Despite everything flying south, George McGovern would become President of the Kansas City Royals Baseball Organization under the new owner, Bo Jackson...
