Ken Griffey Jr. Returns to Seattle

In the great words of someone famous, Finally…..Ken Griffey Jr. has come back to Seattle. Sorry Rock for stealing your catchphrase but you don’t wrestle anymore so I don’t care. Anyways I think it’s great to see Griffey go back to the team he made. In my opinion Ken Griffey Jr. made the Seattle Mariners and put them on the map. They had a great team when he was there and they got horrible after he left. It says something about the man who I once despised for giving the middle finger to Sparky Anderson. It seems Ken has matured since then and in my own person opinion if he wouldn’t have had been injury plagued for all those years in Cincinnati he would be ahead of Bonds in home runs. I’ve always thought that Griffey played the game right and didn’t do anything to really jeopardize his reputation and career.

If this is his last year, I really hope he goes out with a bang and hope Seattle and the league give him the respect he so richly deserves. Ken my hats off to you and yes I forgive you for the Sparky incident. You were just a young punk who didn’t know any better at the time. And yes you are a Hall of Famer in my book. Welcome back to Seattle where hopefully no one will be sleeping when you have your first home game.
