I have been one happy camper the past few days for this reason:
Ken Griffey Jr. has decided to come back to Seattle for possibly his last season and there's no place better for him to finish a great career that started in the Emerald City. The Mariner's play in one of the most beautiful parks in baseball thanks to Ken. Safeco field is truly the house that Griffey built. I remember the day when Griffey came back to Seattle for the first time since he had been traded to the Reds. They had a presentation prepared for "The Kid" in the pregame and it was seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The city is absolutely in love with him and I think it's safe to say that A LOT of people, including myself, fell in love with baseball because of what Griffey was able to do in a Mariner's uniform. I know he's 39 years old and there's only so much left in the tank but there's no place better for Griffey to be than in Seattle. So this is a tribute to the guy who puts his bat on the ball the way that no one else can...."Swung on and belted, deep to right field...bring out your rye bread and musturd grandma....My Oh My" I tip my hat to you Griffey and the excellent decision you've made to return to the team that I love because of your sweet swing.
