I was fortunate to see Junior Griffey play two weeks ago…possibly for the last time? He approved a trade with the ChiSox today. This isn’t one of those “never met expecations” or “countdown to the next injury” posts, because those are over-done anyway, but rather, I’m just sad to see him go. I heard his 600th HR on the radio as it happened, have seen him hit a walkoff double to win a game in extra innings, and saw him make the best defensive play I’ve ever seen in a game vs Detroit (when he was with Seattle, but that’s beside the point).
Farewell, Junior, and may ye get the ring ye seek so heartily.
