This made me feel a little sentimental. I remember how, for years, Ken Griffey was my favourite player. He probably still is, deep down – at least among active guys. I remember a game – April 25, 1997 – when I got to see him hit three home runs in one game. Some dude named Alex Rodriguez hit one, and Carlos Delgado hit a grand slam, but that day was great for seeing my favourite player do something absolutely fantastic.
Tonight, he did another fantastic thing, and I want to add my voice to the throng congratulating him. One more reason I’ll have to make another trip to Cooperstown sometime down the road.
Thanks for many great memories, Junior. I hope I get to see you one more time before you retire. I swear to god, if the Reds trade you in the next two weeks, I’ll have a fit.
