JOE GODDARD -- The Doings Newspaper

A journalist and newspaper reporter for 44 years, Goddard wrote for the Hinsdale Doings for five decades.  Although his travels took him across the country, Joe never stopped promoting the suburban prep sports scene with his feature coverage of local athletes across the West Suburban Conference.  From 1970 through 2014, Goddard wrote over 2,000 "Time-Out" columns that had an emphasis on high school sports.  Covering Major League Baseball for 27 years as a beat writer for the Chicago Sun-Times, Joe was a two-time runner-up for the National Baseball Hall of Fame's J.G. Taylor Spink Award.  Goddard, a 1960 graduate of Hinsdale Central, was inducted into that school's Hall of Fame in 2009.
