Much of the country spent Sunday evening watching the Academy Awards and Cleveland Indians pitcher John Axford was among those who tuned in.
Axford has fared quite well over the past few years with predicting Oscar winners. He was correct on 14 of his 15 picks last year, 11 of 15 in 2012, and 11 of 13 in 2011. For this year’s awards, the National League leader in saves in 2011 upped his number of categories to 18.

As awards were handed out Axford chronicled his success via his Twitter account.
Huh hmmmm…. Guess who's 4 for 4!

This is the kind of performance you retire after. Go out on top. Call it quits after your finest moment. How do you top this?
I'm pretty sure this means I have to do all 24 categories next year! #Oscars #18for18

The bar has been raised.
