The best there was and the best there ever will be.

I'm a die hard angels fan but junior has been my favorite player since I saw him beat my angels at Anaheim stadium in 1991 when he and his dad hit back to back homeruns in the 9th inning. I was mad but I loved his batting stance and swing. Greatest player of my generation

it doesn't matter which team your a fan of, or which skin color, if Griffey isn't in your top 5 players of all time , THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BASEBALL

@ClipperQuik42 ggreatest player of any generation

[gdbalck]

Class act all the way. Sweetest swing ever...

If he could have stayed healthier he would have been THE best player of all time.

My favorite player ever. I wish he would have played for the Braves though.

powtyface, I'm guessing they meant his first at-bat on RETURNING to Seattle

[camsully]

This is why I love baseball.

[powtyface]

this is not his first at bat with the mariners.

I don't know anybody who dislikes Ken Griffey Jr. He's just a total class act. Never showed people up. Always gave credit to the team, never himself. He was one of the greatest hitters of all time. He had the best looking swing of any player. He played great defensively. Easily my favorite player of all time and I'm not even a Mariners fan.
