The Kid got what he deserved. On Thursday, the Mariners unveiled a statue of Ken Griffey Jr. outside of Safeco Field. The 7-foot statue depicts Griffey (probably) mashing a home run, something he did 630 times in his career. Bringing nostalgia to anyone who got to see him play.
Then you begin to think about the three home run derby titles. With that classic backwards hat.
And let’s not forget that he was an amazing outfielder.
Makes you wonder what injuries and not wasting his career in Cincinnati would have done for The Kid.
