  Goodwin Knight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Goodwin Jess Knight (December 9, 1896 - May 22, 1970) was a U.S. politician who was the 31st Governor of California from 1953 until 1959.
Knight was a judge of the Superior Court in Los Angeles beginning in 1935.
Knight, who was reelected easily in 1954, at first seemed to make an alliance with Knowland, but this began to change in 1956 when Knowland supported Nixon for renomination to the vice presidency.

The saga of the hero known as the Red Knight is a long one and involves many people, not the least of which are the two man who have used the armor; Jonathan C. Winchester and his partner, friend and loyal legman Archie Goodwin.

Goodwin's failure to get down the sacrifice bunt in the fifth inning kept the score tied at 1-1 and opened the door for the Chicago Cubs, who got a successful sacrifice from Brian McRae in the eighth inning to set up the game-winning, run-scoring hit by Brant Brown.
One reason Goodwin has some trepidation about squaring around to bunt is the broken left index finger he suffered when he was hit by a pitch on a bunt at tempt in Oakland in 1995.
While Griffey said that Goodwin might be suffering from ''a little bit of the fear factor,'' Knight said he should overcome it by wearing added protection in bunting situations.
