Ken Griffey, Jr. completes the circle of baseball life

Posted on June 2, 2010 by Jon Weisman

Did Ken Griffey, Jr. just complete a 22-year career in my adult lifetime? Really? Ken Griffey, Jr. has come and gone?

I can remember when he was a pup, a teen dream. For that matter, I can remember when his dad was in his prime. What is happening to us?  TIME OUT!!!

All my best, kid.
