Vogt's Farley impression proves award-worthy

Vogt earned recognition for his impression of the late Chris Farley's Saturday Night Live character, motivational speaker Matt Foley. Vogt dressed as Foley and did an impression as he explained in May why he should make the American League All-Star team.

And after all that, it worked. Vogt was named to his first career All-Star Game this year. For his efforts, Vogt will receive a Greatness in Baseball Yearly (GIBBY) trophy.

Toronto's David Price (who did an interview featuring a question from former teammate Chris Archer) and Washington's Max Scherzer (who had four bottles of chocolate syrup dumped on him after a June no-hitter) were the other finalists.
