Ken Griffey Jr. a Mariner Again
For not having a lot of excitement heading into baseball season, this is great ****ing news. I just went from attending a game or two this year, to probably going to 10. I don't know why he picked Seattle over Atlanta, but I know he will be revered again. I predict a 30 HR, .300 avg, 100 RBI renaissance.

I was 11 when he started playing. He is quite literally my first real baseball hero. If I wasn't such a homebody, I'd be tempted to pick up season tickets. This is awesome for me.

Griffey, Jordan, and Barry Sanders were my sports idols growing up.
That's great news, but 30 bombs in Safeco is expecting a lot.

It's dreaming. However Safeco was built for lefties. I'd love to see him shuck all the injuries and pick right up where he left off. It would be magical.

I bat left-handed and play hockey left-handed...do everything else right-handed... I was ABSOLUTELY obsessed with MJ, though... I don't know when I started LOVING the NFL...I went to every Chiefs home game from age 5-12...but I was always a MLB/NBA fan...now strictly NFL. |

I remember that moment like it was yesterday. I was sitting in my room watching the game on a 19" tube TV, gnoshing on Sprite, microwave popcorn, and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray. Edgar Martinez rips a double down the left field line, and Musberger lets out that call.
"Griffaaayyyyyyy is coming aroooooound. He's gonna try to scorrrre...." Great moment.
