One of my all time favorite players, it's really too bad he couldn't get to 700+ HRs.

And of course, Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr was a great game, but that's beside the point.

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Definitely one of my favorite players.  I used to live in Portland, OR, and it was a lot of fun going up to the Kingdome and catching games.

I know in my formidable days of playing Little League ('90-93) and watching baseball games, no one loomed larger on the national scale than Griffey.

The guy was the man and class act. Hands down, he had the sweetest stroke of anyone out there (especially if you were a fellow left-handed hitter  ;) )
