Griffey

Griffey hangs it up after 22 seasons. Rookie of the year, MVP, 5th all-time in homers, a truck load of gold gloves. How refreshing it is to see a traditional hall of fame career arc without the assistance of, certain 'substances'. He burst on the scene, grew into greatness, started to decline, became injury prone, then fell off the cliff. Exactly the way it's supposed to happen. It will be cool that his standing will be enhanced as he stands out against all the cheaters. I'll remember that gorgeous long lefty swing, and the amazing plays in center field, and of course the smile.

My favorite swing of all time.

I dream to be that smooth in anything I do.

Brett is my second favorite swing.
