By Norm: I never was a huge Ken Griffey Jr. fan. Don’t get me wrong, Griffey is a future Hall of Famer and one of the greats of the game. I did catch him in San Bernardino in 1988 when he played for the Spirit. So, with that said I will talk about something else.…
By Trevor: As a young pup (born in ’88) I got to grow up watching Ken Griffey Jr. play for the Mariners. He was drafted a year before I was born and broke into the Majors when I was 1 years old. I obviously don’t remember watching him play for my first 5 years of…
