Hall of Very Good: Reminder...the Kid is good.
hallofverygood.blogspot.com 6/7/2008 — It must be the Year of Apathy in baseball. First, you have Frank Thomas shuffled around so much in a week that no one knows what team he plays for. Then, Mike Piazza retires and no one notices. Now, Ken Griffey, Jr., the player with the greatest potential in the history of baseball, gets within a home run of 600, and no one outside of Cincinnati seems to care. Why is this happening?

Griffey Hits # 600! | Baseball Reflections
baseballreflections.com 6/10/2008 — He did it! I won’t hide it anymore, but I am a Ken Griffey Jr. fan. I always have been even though my home team is not Seattle or the Reds. I just think that he has the sweetest swing I have ever seen! He hit a no-doubter over the right field wall off of Marlin’s left hander Mark Hendrickson. It was hit in the top of the first inning in front of under 15K fans which is just downright sinful!
Congratulations Griffey!

Foul Balls
Ken Griffey Jr. hit the 600th home run of his career yesterday in Miami (in front of approximately 600 people ironically enough), and I have to say, it makes me feel old. I can still remember the first time I saw Junior play in a game against the White Sox.
He was a 19-year old kid, and I was 8-years old, and I remember that skinny punk kid hitting an RBI single up the middle at the Kingdome

ESPN cut away from the Detroit game to show the modest celebration and the obligatory stat comparison with other ...

After missing out on SUCH an important ball, I literally didn't know what to do with myself. It felt pointless to go back to chasing foul balls, and right now I'd rather not be spending any mental energy writing about it, but life goes on and I ...
