Good vid man, go M's. Was lucky enough to be able to see the Griffster 4 games this year at safeco. Heart and soul of Seattle sports and your right about a-roid alot of people didnt like him when he was here.
I like your video, but I always have the question of why do people refer to seahawks mariners etc. fans as Seattle only residents. I live in snohomish and I love the Seattle teams. Like I hear, "Ken griffey jr. did alot for the people of Seattle." I mean, what's so special about Seattle residents. Btw, good luck in UW. GO DAWGS!
it's a damn sin that Jr. probably won't beat Barry Bonds' HR record. i hope the hell those injuries don't stop him from doing so. it's very unlikely he will anyway..he needs 150 Hr's and he's 38..i hope he stays in the majors as long as his body will let him.
Man, Sapien could I sense the deep emotions within you in regards to the legacy and importance of Griffey. I love it man. Only true Griffey fans can truly appreciate this moment.
The kid is Back! My favorite player of all time! Talk about a 5 tool guy! Back in his heyday he had it all, the arm, the glove, the bat, the wheels, AND the smarts. He'll still produce and fill the seats. Griffey stands for all that's good and pure in baseball. Long live "The Natural" the sweetest swing baseball has ever, will ever see.
Do you understand that his "new" contract with Seattle is based on attendance insentives. Not if he preforms or contributes to wins..just wether or not the seats are full. He didnt choose us he could never play full time in Atlanta. He left us with a huge stadium tax and called Cincy "home". Now our Seattle fans welcome him back with open arms. How does that help our Mariners win? What a joke and PR stunt. Do you hear Cincy fans crying because he's gone?....NO!!
Winning games actually contributes to an increases in attendance. He left to be closer to his kids...I can't argue with that. I'm going to enjoy seeing him play again in a Mariners uniform. I don't like the business aspect of baseball any more than you do, but it comes with the territory. Besides, Seattle needs something to look forward to and this is perfect.
Luckily there won't be any tiles falling from the ceiling this time (bad kingdome joke). Wahooo- the kid is back! He's gonna bring our city back to life. March 14- tickets go on sale =)

Jesus, why the hell would you post this crap? Are you so conceited that you think you have legions of "fans" waiting for you to post your thoughts on Youtube? Go read a book please.
amen brother, I can't wait to buy opening day tickets, I remember the first time my dad took my to a mariners game, The Kingdome was heaven for me. I can't wait to see Jr. Back in Mariner blue and white. What an amazing day.
