His swing was poetry in motion. It was a beauty to behold.

100% also incorporated a bat flip at the end that's not intentional
Played the game the right way!!!!!
G.O.A.T and the best swing ever "hands down"
I played baseball my whole life in the 90s played centerfield in Mexico on weekends and varsity baseball in the states during the week my favorite baseball player was Griffen... we were poor alli ever wanted was a Ken grifey jersey never could afford one on my high school graduation my coach from Mexico showed up with a ken Griffey jersey after I walked for my diploma I put it over my cap and gown so all my graduation pics are wearing his jersey one of the best days in my life thank u Ken Griffey jr.....first time I saw him play against the Astros he hit a home run cried this guy's my hero love ya kid!!!!
Griffey Jr’s swing, was poetry in motion...one the all time greats. Sweet memories!
The Greatest Baseball Player Of All Time. Playing in the outfield wasn't easy, he crushed the wall many times not caring about his physical. He was all package player.
Hey this is Bob in Connecticut and I am a long time New York Yankee ticket holder but I have to say I never saw anybody like Junior Griffey. He had it all and without steroids obviously one of the greatest players that ever lived. There are not too many players that give 110% all the time like he does. I know he didn’t like the New York Yankees but somebody that works as hard as he did every day and night that is Billy‘s kind of guy because if you didn’t give 110% for Billie Marten you were on the bench. Definitely should be the home run king of all time that’s too bad he went through so many injuries with Cincinnati.🥳🥳🥳
Class act ; Fun gentleman , Ken Sr. did a wonderful job raising a tremendous positive person ! My God that sweet smooth swing ; truly a natural !

Griffey Jr.: Jonathan's Swing Looks Like Mine And He Just Did My Home Run Walk Oughta Boy Jonathan: *Tips His Cap Backwards* That's How We Do It In Canterlot And Seattle Griffey Jr.: Hahahahahahahaha That's Hilarious Principal Celestia: Now I Decided To Wear My Cap Backwards Just Like Him *Laughs* Jay Buhner: Bruh Why Is Everyone Copying Jonathan's And Griffey Jr's Style Sci-Twi Twilight Sparkle: What? We Can't Honor The GOAT #24
He looked like he wasn't even trying sometimes. It was crazy!
I ended up a switch hitter because I wanted to bat lefty like Griffey. He's the greatest of all time.

Great video
Doesn’t even need a bat flip. Just drops it cuz he knows before he even swings
The Steph Curry of baseball before there was a Steph Curry there was Junior!
Hello Gabriela Griffey, Ken Griffey’s cousin.
Mike Trout really can't say much about memories of Griffey. He was born in 1991. Most people dont really start keeping memories until they are 7. Griffey was already past his prime by the time Trout started holding memories.

Well at 7 that would be 1998, so mike would have seen griffeys 2nd 56hr 146+ rbi season plus the next season Griffey hit 48 hrs's then in his 1st year with Cincinnati which would have been in 2000, Griffey hit 40hr with 118 rbi's, plus in 2005 Griffey hit 35hr's and in 2007 he hit 30hr's, Mike would have been 14 and 16 in those years so he somewhat got to some of Griffey's prime

I was born an 2000. I remember watching Griffey far past his prime. But I remember watching old highlights seeing old clips of him in his prime and he’s now one of my all time favorite baseball players. I can say the same for Mickey Mantle to be honest.
Lol seeing Felix with that bleached goatee makes me laugh. He’s gonna be grayer than Buhner by the time he’s 36 lol
Jamie Moyer is not a meticulous groomer.
Guess what Ken Griffey is my cousin my name is Gabriela Griffey
