Oh so true....From todays Seattle Times....Griffey was Seattle's superstar, saviorBy Steve KelleySeattle Times staff columnist Before Junior, baseball in Seattle was little more than a bad reality show. Surviving was more important that winning.Before Ken Griffey Jr., nobody believed in the Mariners' future. This was and always would be a football town.Before Junior, the Mariners never thought about pennants. This was a franchise that was more worried about moving. Where the Mariners would be in the country was more important than where they were in the standings.Before Junior, the most telling statistic in every box score wasn't the final score. It was the paid attendance. Could the Mariners draw enough people to convince owner George Argyros to keep the team in town?http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sports/2003757908_kelley22.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very fan friendly, I have seen him around Sarasota during spring training and talked to him once. Really a nice guy and was more than happy to sign an autograph. It's been a shame he has been hurt ever since he came to the Reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already is one of the best.He is a sure hall of famer now, which makes him one of the best ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
