Ken Griffey Jr. FULL EPISODE | EPISODE 6 | CLUB SHAY SHAY
Follow Club Shay Shay on Tik Tok: sprtspod.fox/ClubShayShayTikTok... On Episode 6 of Club Shay Shay, Shannon welcomes in baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. “The Kid” shares a number of stories from his 22-year professional baseball career, in which he was a 13-time All-Star, 10-time Gold Glove Winner and 1997 American League MVP. We hear about what it was like being teammates with “The Big Unit” Randy Johnson, and his plea to the Mariners front office to trade for Pedro Martinez.
Shannon also dives into one of the great familial stories sports has ever seen, when Ken Griffey Jr. played alongside his father Ken Griffey Sr. What were some of the challenges in pursuing the same career as his dad? How is Junior guiding his children through their own athletic pursuits? Griffey also lists his Top 5 players of all-time and compares his swing to NBA's Ray Allen's shooting ability.

I know, Shannon Sharpe made the Judgment of that he said he could have gone on 25 years instead of 22. They would have had designated hitter in the National League he would have had a hundred 25 home runs to get Aaron's mark of 755 instead of bonds 762.

Still has the prettiest swing i have ever seen and one of the best Center Fielders of all time hands down. Keep up the great work Uncle Shay Shay

He is the true Natural, Jr is a class act. Great person and great ball player. You can see how his dad molded him and gave him the right mind set. Shannon is a great interviewer.

Unc has been doin his thing wit the podcast it has barely been a month since he started it💪🏾💯
Griffey is the baseball GOAT in my opinion and one of the reasons is he was on the cover and his voice used in the greatest baseball game of all time, Major League Baseball Feat. Ken Griffey Jr. on the N64.

Griffey a stand up dude , I loved this interview
The most effortless, smooth and beautiful swing EVER in the game. In an era full of steroid abuse and “sluggers” making their name on the long ball, Griffey could keep up with any of them NATURAL. Out of all his accomplishments, and their are many, grif’s most amazing achievement imo is that in a game full of cheaters he was able to keep up and still rise above all of them and be the best in the game. Dear lord imagine the numbers Griffey would put up if he was on ped’s.... but he is class and did it on his own merits

Mr Griffey is the reason why I played Baseball in HS. Salute to you.
The greatest baseball player I ever saw in my lifetime,hence that I was actually able to see play. Offensively and defensively just a all around player.played in a era dominated by steroids,he was the only one u didn’t have to question if he was taken them. and he had the best stance and swing in baseball
Club Shay Shay got it lit on Tuesdays. Griffey still looks the same.
When I use to play MLB The Show I always make a Griffey type player with his swing. Salute Griffey Jr. and Sr.
The man talks about his family in a way, thats rarely unheard of these days. From His Grand Mothers living directly across from each other, to playing with Dad, to his Own children.
If LeBron doesn't contact this show to be on it, it'll be unreal and disappointing to s.sharpe fans and his loyalty towards LeBron

Ken Griffey Jr., a baseball god, us mere mortals are not worthy. Just pure greatness. Same age as me, that time period produced some of the games defining players.
WOW! 10/10 with the interview of one of the GOAT's in sports. Griffey shows everyone that humility is key in life.
My favorite player of all time. Haven’t watched since he left.
As a kid who was 10 in 95’ thank you Jr for everything.
Griffey is the 🐐 no debate
Jr was so amazing to watch play in his prime
I love Ken Griffey Jr, he is my all time sports idol. The man was amazing to watch and he defied an era. Griffey was just magnetic. I remember being a Yankee Fan going to Yankee stadium to watch the Mariners play the Yankees, I would wear my Yankee hat with my Griffey Jersey... I had to, he meant that much to me.

I’ve been a fan of The Kid since 1990 and a fan of Uncle Shay for about the last few years. This is the most rewarding and genuine interview I have ever watched. It literally brought me to tears seeing my favorite athlete of all time being so real and giving us snippets of his life like this. Well done Shay Shay and thank you for making this happen. I’m gonna keep watching your stuff. Thank you Griffey Jr for still bringing a smile to my face some 30 years since I first (and forever after) became enamored but your skill, style, and all-time greatness. Thank you deeply for this interview. I’m sharing it with all my friends.
Thank you Club Shay Shay foe this interview. Ken Griffey Jr is one of the reasons that I love baseball and this interview truly shows how humble and down to earth he is.
Griffey jr is my favorite athlete of all time. As a left handed person he was the first left handed athlete that I saw in the 90's. Once I saw him swing i instantly changed my batting style to mimic his and it instantly started working.
I've always like Ken Griffen Jr, but with this interview I get to see him in a different light, which makes me like him more!!!
UNCLE SHAY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS INTERVIEW. KEN GRIFFEY JR. WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE MLB PLAYER GROWING UP. THIS INTERVIEW HELPED ME APPRECIATE MY LIFE AND SAW WHO I WAS THROUGH KEN'S EXPLANATION ON HIS TALENTS AND WHO HE WAS AS A PERSON. I FELT THE SAME WHERE GOD HAS BLESSED ME TO BE A PERSON TO APPRECIATE WHAT GOD HAS CREATED ME TO BE. NEVER CHEAT YOURSELF AND LIFE THAT GOD HAS BLESSED YOU WITH, HE CREATED A JOURNEY FOR YOU TO GROW INTO A LIGHT THAT WILL NEVER DIM. THANK YOU FOR THE GEMS AND SPIRIT THAT YOU AND KEN GRIFFEY HAVE INSPIRE ALOT OF PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY MYSELF. 🙏🙏

Thanks Shannon & Ken ! Wonderful interview, Keep 'em coming !
It’s that country charm that makes you feel comfortable talking with him
Actions always speak louder than words….. This is a MESSAGE, MESSAGE, last two generations.
Loved seeing Griffey lift the 12th Man Flag in the C-Link!! Go Hawks baby!!
The best baseball player ever never complain never got a ring that he deserved but he out worked everybody on the field and played his whole career Clean offense of monster and a great defensive player The goat Hall of Fame with one of the best baseball swings ever

My all-time favorite Baseball player. Loved the Sport, played 100% every game, all heart. And it always showed. I'd probably be flabbergasted if I met him.
Thanks so much for this interview. The GOAT!
What a freaking GREAT interview. Did not expect myself to sit here and watch the whole thing. Dope job on Shannon's part
This is THE BEST episode this far. Epic interview with with Ken Griffey Jr. Legendary career, ultra humble man.
That is the biggest flex of all!!! Huge display for the gold gloves, but not enough for that 10th !!! That Griffey Jr swing alone deserves it's own wing in Cooperstown
Thank you for doing this with JR. He is and always will be my favorite baseball player to ever live. I wish i could have gotten to watch him play live but i never missed a game on tv.

I tried that same swing as a kid every day he was like God
Was and still is one of my favorite people on earth.
