Tonight tomorrow and Thursday the struggling Seattle Mariners roll into Baltimore, for a three game series against the struggling O's. After an 8 game loosing streak and the M's firing there hitting coach. Not a very exciting series with the exception of one thing, this week for the few fans that will attend these games and the virtually empty camden yard may get there last glimpse at a legend who is def a first ballot hall of famer, Ken Griffey Jr. Ken Griffey Jr. for several years known as baseballs forgotten superstar. He wasn't making headlines like Barry Bonds, Mark Mcgwire, and Sammy Sosa. He wasn't getting all the praise these three men got. Why?? oh Griffey is injury prone, always hurt and takes way to long to come back. Why it took him so long than those other three men, now all three disgraces to the game IMO, is because he is all natural. Griffey didn't cheat, its not in his character, his father taught him better. When Ken Griffey Jr hit his 600th HR two seasons ago I wept, when Ken Griffey resigned with Seattle I wept, when he retires I will weep, and when he gets inducted inducted in the hall of fame I will ball like a baby ( I am tearing up now as I write this about my hero) There are two homerun kings in my book Hank Aaron and Ken Griffey Jr, they played the game, and more importantly lived there lives the right way. SO I am asking O;s fans at the yard this week to cheer for for the O's, but also cheer for the game of baseball, and there hasn't been an individual in my book who has represented the game of baseball (not forgetting about Cal) better than Ken Griffey Jr.!!
