Ken Griffey Jr. Hits #600
AwfulAnnouncing —
I, like many others, have a man crush on Ken Griffey Jr. There's a lot of things that go into this crush, but the two main ones are that I'm left-handed (and still try to emulate his swing in Softball) and he presumably never cheated. Griffey nailed a 3-1 Mark Hendrickson pitch tonight for his 600th, and just like his swing, the celebration was cool, calm and just right. Here's the video if you missed it.... ...

Enjoy the Enjoyment —
Griffey's 600th!!! He hits it off of ex-Mt. Vernon star (and former NBAer) Mark Hendrickson, and I gain some small measure of revenge for Hendrickson's 16-point, 11-rebound performance that knocked my Garfield Bulldogs out of the 1992 state AA basketball ...
