Learning all the intangibles and fundamentals in baseball can be achieved by more than watching. Seeing how it's a thrill ride with sensational years Ken Griffey Jr. made the great American Past time awesome. He's a true classic baseball star who decided to call it time for retirement in 2010. I'd have liked to see play more one season. It wasn't to be with his health and decision to leave. He's a career .300 hitter with over 600 homeruns. The diving and leaping catches he made on the field also enlisted him as a top award winner. I can't state enough positive about Griffey Jr.
The days as a Seattle Mariner were memorable no doubt about it. I remember him and Jay Buhner cranking homeruns to help the M's in the 90's and in the postseason. It's a shame they didn't make it ever to the World Series. Sensational hitting and overall top performance was what made Ken Griffey Jr. a great player and overall success in baseball. No one can question is outstanding achievements over his career. I won several gold gloves. Tallying the high honors with top stats proved him to be one of the best in the AL and in MLB. In his time he play for 3 teams: Mariners, Reds, and WhiteSox. Griffey Jr. remains one of my favorite baseball play of all-time.
Good luck to him with his retirement and all who believe hail to his greatness! Congratulations to the eventual Hall of Famer for a mega career, serving as a big inspiration!

Thank you for the great post. I grew up in Seattle and saw Griffey play and he was sensational. If there ever was a swing to study in person and on film it is his.
