My Oh My
The Seattle Mariners came to be officially in 1977, but it wasn't until 1989 that they became something. The Kid, The Natural, Junior showed up and hit a home run in the Kingdome with his first SWING. Once hit a home run in eight consecutive games, glided across the outfield effortlessly and his smile and enthusiasm lit up a room. Tireless around children, he donated money and time as often as he could and in 1995 saved baseball in Seattle. They call Safeco Field 'the house that Griffey built' for good reason and now he will be the first person to wear the hat of the Seattle Mariners in the Baseball Hall of Fame with more votes than anyone in history.
That's mom and pop behind him as he was inducted into the Mariners HOF August 10, 2013.
"Griffey's coming around third, their gonna wave him in and the throw will be......LATE! The Mariners are going to play for the American League Pennant!!!" Goosebumps over here. Wish Dave coulda seen it.
