There wouldnt be a baseball team in Seattle today if it werent for Ken Griffey Jr. 

If healthy, could have been one of the best. 

Oh so true....

From todays Seattle Times....

Griffey was Seattle's superstar, savior

By Steve Kelley

Seattle 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?

Griffey is an all-around type of guy. 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.

Would have been one of the best, or better yet... simply THE best.  He already is one of the best.

He is a sure hall of famer now, which makes him one of the best ever.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”
