In the workaday world that is Griffey admiration, it's easy to forget that every once in a while you've just got to come out and say "Hey, in case you were wondering, Griffey is awesome, guys. I mean he is totally rockin' awesome. Just FYI."
Here is the article from Yahoo that prompted this post:
Ken Griffey Jr. calls fan in Kansas who had items stolen from extensive baseball card collection
That's right. Not just an excellent baseballer, but also a nice guy who loves his kids and gives a darn about his fans. What more could we ask for?
Also, how scary is that title? I don't know what I'd do...... I wish I'd known about this sooner - I've got some duplicates for this man.
Way to go, Junior. You're doin' it right.

I should have let you post the article since you are "THE Griffey Guy". But both of us posting about the article definitely says a lot about how revered he is as a human and was as a player! I'll leave a bulk of the Kid posting to you from now on since you are more of an SME than I am.
ReplyDeleteNo, no. Please, The Kid belongs to the world. Let us all share in his Griffeyness....
