A sad day yesterday for Seattle. Griffey retires. - GoFuckYourself.com

As a lifelong Mariner fan I worship at the alter of Junior. I was pretty shocked when I turned on the game yesterday and heard he had announced his retirement a few hours earlier. I assumed this would be his last year, his skills are not what they once were, but I figured he would stick the rest of this season out and do kind of a goodbye tour. Maybe it is for the best that he did it this way.

He is the reason there is baseball in Seattle.

For my money, he had the sweetest swing in the game and I fell lucky to have gotten to see him play.

Shit. I just remembered that I had like 10 of his rookie cards. Donruss/Topps, the whole shebang.

You'll cry when you see what they are selling for these days.

He truly had one of the sweetest swings in the game and an all time great. His numbers are legit and probably one of the few great players of his era that were "clean".

I remember my buddy, who owned a comics and baseball card game shop, all excited about getting a few of Ken Grifffey Jr's rookie cards. Seeing how his career spanned the years, those cards are well worth it.

When I was a kid I used to buy me collector cards w. American Football and baseball, it was expensive as hell, so I could only afford like one pack a month and had to save for it, knew shit about American Football or baseball (and still do) but it was cool since it was 1990 - 91 and I had something else "American" in my room (besides an old Colt replica, a couple Matchbox Pontiacs and Peterbilts and a collection of vintage empty US cigarette packages)

At least I still remember the teams names so I'm not completely lost in conversation.

NHL is a different story, was an NHL freak for years, most extreme display of this was probably when me and my buddy got NHL 99 game after like two years from its release and spent about 18 hours trading and adjusting all the roosters so it was 2001 current.
