Can't wait to read the articles on this one. 0-0 heading until the bottom of the 14th. 2 outs. 2 on. Every other baseball game has been over for ages.
Ken Griffey Jr. pinch hits and the crowd automatically rises to its feet. Everyone has their cameras out. (This happens often for him. Even more so when it's this kind of at bat.)
And he wins it with a base hit.
I don't know if this is going to be Junior's last year. I don't know if it should be. I love him way too much to be impartial. But if it is, I hope he announces it. He means so much to Seattle. Safeco Field is referred to as "the House that Griffey built." And it's true. The Mariners would be long gone if it weren't for Junior and that magic season of 1995. (Literally. We'd voted down a new stadium, and then when the Mariners started winning, a special session was called to approve funding.) And the fact that he came back to the team and that he still has moments like this . . . I want us to have a chance to show our appreciation to him.
