Baseball - Getting Closer

19 February, 2009

How awesome is it that Ken Griffey Jr. will end his career as a Mariner and Tom Glavine will finish up as a Brave?

Also, by way of explanation, if any readers were wondering who my favorite position player and pitcher were growing up without a doubt it was Junior and Glavine (the Tigers didn't give me much to work with, I mean Bobby Higginson, really?). Though I couldn't really replicate Griffey's game that much, I still remember - even as late as high school - loving when I could work the outside corner when I was pitching - Glavine style. I loved watching those TBS games and just being mesmerized, watching for things in his delivery I could mimic.

i was so lucky to have wasted my youth watching future Hall of Famers.
