Making his Mariner debut Ken Griffey Jr at the age of 19 and A Fly ball deep into left field, way back Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Going, Going, Gone See Ya Bye Bye Adios Sayonara Arrivederci Its outta here So long, farewell Jr Sends a high fly ball And there it goes Going, Going, GOODBYE BASEBALL! Hello Cooperstown. This commercial sends shivers down my spine and I'm not gonna lie,I actually teared up. Thanks for all of the memories Ken. You've inspired me to play since I was 6 =*)

Griffey epitomized the quintessential baseball player. He could run, he could catch, he could throw, and boy... could he swing a bat. I was born in '88 and modeled a great deal of my game after him, his hustle, his sportsmanship, his plate approach, God, I even stole his little bat wiggle (and the swagger that came along with it.) If ever there were a greater player, I'd be hard-pressed to find one. Here's to you Griffey you made me a better player, and in doing so, a better man. I'll miss you.

too bad they didnt have a vid of him homering for the sox :(

The best ever to step on the field, no matter what anyone says! Look at the numbers he put up and when he put them up! While everyone was following the cheaters through fake homerun chases, Griffey did it CLEAN and just dominated!

Oh... And in case everyone forgot...

Griffey = Yankee Killer!
