True story.

I was a Griffey maniac back in the day.


"If you don't enjoy baseball, you shouldn't play," Griffey said. "You get into what you do. There's a lot to enjoy here. I enjoy baseball, grew up in this game and can't think of anything else I could be doing where I have this much fun every day."

Also, he tied the record for opening day homers, with frank robinson at 8.

I just don't understand why Kenny G went back to them ??? He coulda joined a contender with the Rays especially since he has a home in Mid Florida.  And the Mariners don't care about winning.  When he was 1st there, all they needed in order to win was some relief pitching cause their bullpen was bullcrap.  But they didn't start getting that help after they traded him.  Sucks that it didn't work out with the Reds.  Why don't these players help them out & have new versions of the Big Red Machine?

Trust me, its not always worth it, ask Jeff Weaver.  He was better in the NL & won a WS with the Cardinals but foolishly rejected a 2 yr. $10 million for a 1 yr. $8 million with the M's even though he sucks balls in the AL, even sucked with the Yankees.  No surprise he sucked there too, shouldn't have listened to Borass. 

Like that saying goes, take your good fortune as it comes.  Don't be greedy.
