We had a friendly competition growing up in the 90's as to who was better. Anyway, now that my brother has passed, my dad and I thought it a fitting tribute to him to see the kids big day in his place. It was a wonderful weekend reliving fond memories and emotional at times. It was an overwhelming pro griffey crowd, I bet 70:30 for ken. I even got within 6 or 7 feet of him during the parade of legends on Saturday night. It was super hot watching the speeches, but so worth it. You picked a great guy to PC.
