He was parented well and has followed that model to also be a good parent for his kids. And even though both Sr an Jr are both baseball HOFers, being good family men puts them in the HOF of life.

Had the opportunity to meet his mother in Orlando back in 2015, and learned a lot about his wife that day too. Griffey comes from a great family. Great interview.

I met Jr while he played for the Mariners back in the 1990’s… always one of my favorites. Mad respect for this man. 🙌

this has been one of the best interviews in the history of The Pivot. I love it. I'm a HUGE BASEBALL fan, so i love it. Mom got me watching Braves Baseball in the 90's so growing up for me I saw, Jr., Big Hurt, Crime Dog, Tony Gwynn, and ofcourse Barry. But a quick Jr. story, I remember before his last year, it was a slim chance he'd come play for my Bravos and when it didn't happened i was a little hurt lol. but such a wonderful interview. He and Andruw were two of the Best Defensive CFs i have ever seen play. I'm only 36 by the way so take that as context

Griffey 😮! He is the nicest guy frfr! I’ve been a huge fan since elementary in 94. I cant count how many Mariners games I went to in Detroit! Now my kids play baseball and it’s my favorite time of year! Soooo happy about this interview!!👏🏽👏🏽

You boys so different. You continue to impress with who you get on the Pivot & how you chop it up so effortlessly. You can tell how comfortable your guests are. Also s/o Griffey. As different as he is from the rest of us, he’s also so relatable- a kid who just wanna play ball

Being born and raised and Seattle, Ken Griffey Jr has been and always will be a respected ICON up here. This interview solidified why the pivot is what it is. I smiled and laughed most of the way thru. Thank you for this and big ups to the Seattle Mariners!

Definitely my favourite episode . Man, being South African and a massive baseball and KG Jr fan, this was awesome to watch. He's still got that youthful twinkle as though he's on the ball park, shout out to you guys for sure.
