Heckle Ken Griffey Jr. & win a prize

Recommended Posts

Haha, thats very funny. Griffey seems to be kinda chilled. A Tie Domi would have got other the fence and ripped his beard off.

I used to like Griffey when he was in Seattle (dont know when) and he did play a good part in one Simpsons episode as well ^_^

that's pretty funny but as a griffey fan I hate to see him get heckled because he's had some injury problems. I think he would have easily destroyed Hank Aaron's home run record if he would have stayed healthy AND probably would have won more gold gloves than anyone in the history of the game. He's like the Mario Lemieux of baseball, sooo much talent but his body just wouldn't let him live up to his true potential. Not to mention Griffey's heart, anyone that saw how he broke his wrist knows how hard he will go after a ball.

Gotta love Griffey. Shame how injuries affected his career.

Growing up you either liked The Kid or Frank Thomas. It was just a way of life during 90's baseball.

They just mentioned this on Around the Horn and showed the guy's space pics.

I wonder if Griffey will see any consequences from this, I can't imagine Bud would approve of jocks flying into the crowd.

how can you hate Griffey? he's such a good guy. I can see how people hate A-Rod, Manny and players like that. I just honestly don't see how people can hate guys like Griffey, Jeter, David Ortiz(tough to admit being that I'm a Yankees fan) and the like... Those are all good guys that play hard and clean. They aren't all about themselves and care a lot about the sport and their team.

I use to know a guy who was a sports reporter and he said Griffey is a total douche behind closed doors. He may appear chill when the cameras are on him and he always seems like a good guy in interviews, but I hear he's a total ass when no cameras are on.

I wouldn't put too much stock in that. He's a sports reporter. Griffey is a good dude, don't listen to him.

My grandfather knew a few pro players(he knew some of the big names) and I personally know 3 guys that played pro baseball(no big names) and quite a few of them have met Griffey and a few others... They might not have the greatest things to say about some but the ones that met Griffey have nothing but good things to say.

*I'm not bragging about knowing anyone... In Tampa, most people do know a couple of former or current pro baseball players. The area is a hotbed for baseball, kind of weird considering that the baseball team from Tampa is horrible.
