Ken Griffey, Jr. is the best baseball player I’ve ever seen. It’s almost impossible to compare him to anybody in his era, or maybe any other. I’ve been watching baseball since the 1960’s.

I grew up going to Mariners games and watching Griffey was so awesome. Even though the Mariners never did much in the playoffs, it was so much fun watching Griffey, Edgar, Randy, A-rod, Ichiro, etc. And '95 was just magical. It was a fun time to be an 8 year old playing baseball and collecting cards when Griffey was a rookie.

Dope...I was 10 in 96. This was my Era. Loved it.

My favorite player by far, always humble, happy and inspiring! Long Live the King!

He was the Michael Jordon of Baseball in the 90's. Had he stayed injury free, he would have broken all the records. He played so rough in the field he got hurt a lot, but he was special. Too good to put in the DH slot, but in retrospect maybe they should have put him there. Imagine how many homeruns he would have had.

I had the pleasure of living in Seattle while Jr played there and there was so many happy memories. My favorite was the Spiderman catch in right center field as I was at the Kingdome when it happened and it blew my mind when I saw it happening in real time. There will never be another Kid.

The Mariners did bring the Turn Ahead the Clock uniforms back in 2018 for a game against the Royals. Also of note, Griffey helped design the colors and logo of these uniforms as well.

Born and raised in Hawaii. I’m 38 and KG Jr. is my favorite player of all time.

Let's go. Take back to the old days where Ken Griffey Jr. Was smashing balls.

Greatest of all time. Played for the love of the game and missed games for literally sacrificing his body for his team. The sweetest swing and a human highlight reel.

Watching him play in the old dome at Seattle brings back so many memories. What a player.

Jr's swing is something that will never be seen again in MLB.

I am lucky enough to have lived in Washington during the griffey years. Although I didn't have season tickets, I did see as many games in the kingdome as I could. Griff was and still is my favorite player followed closely by Frank Thomas. Griff wasn't just a great player, he was the Mariners at the time. If I look close enough there may still be beer stains on the ceiling when Edgar hit that double and scored Griff in 95' to beat the yanks.

Yeah I love the family first attitude. On top of being a great player. Watched his dad play with the Big Red Machine in the 70’s. He quickly became a favorite of mine. And I had “Ken Griffey Jr’s Baseball” on NES. I used to kill it!!!! Cool thing is I was in Cincinnati watching Reds/Padres and I caught his 590th homer off Will Ledesma of the Padres.

The only problem withe The Kid is he played himself into shape during spring training. And when he hit his 30s that didn’t work anymore, and he refused to change. He started piling up injuries and his bat speed slowed down. And yet he was still one of the all-time greats. As a fan it’s hard to think about how much he left on the table, since his prime was so high and given his skillset his downhill slope shouldn’t have been so steep.

As a kid growing up playing baseball, and playing high school ball with a few scholarship offers, he was the player everyone tried to imitate. From his swing to his work ethic. And he had the most natural swing I have ever seen. He was the only player I've ever seen in this game who didn't have to try. He just had to show up and he was light years ahead of everyone else.

I grew up in Gig Harbor in the 90s. My first baseball game my Dad took me across the narrows bridge to the King Dome in 95. Griffey hit a walk off home run wearing their aqua colored home uniforms. One of the best memories of my life. Ill never forget listening to Dave Neihouse call the games in the 90s on my Grandmas porch. Thanks for everything Griffey.

As a father whose son followed in his footsteps I know the pride that his father must feel looking on his son as he surpassed his own accomplishments.

I haven't missed an allstar game since I watched my first, which was in Toronto when the American League won 1 - 0, I think 1990.

What an inspiration as a family as well! Hands down best swing ever.

Had Griffey been an Iron Man of a specimen and missed very few games - there is NO DOUBT who would own the all-time HR record. The fact that he was often injured and missed so many games and YET STILL put up those career numbers is insane. Biggest mistake was going to Cincinatti.

I loved that swing of his.

Watching Junior catch a fly ball was amazing. It was a coyote hunting a rabbit. Ichiro, Gwynn, Junior...and Rickey, of course. That's my outfield and DH. No offense, but who watched Ken Griffey, Jr. and voted him outside of #1 MVP? I'm not even a baseball fan, but those guys make life better. Great video!

great video, and he did all those amazing numbers clean, that's not the same, my favorite player and one of the most complete players i ever seen, by the way, thanks for the video and you do a great job

Keep up the great vids, The Kid was pure magic to watch. How about a video on the Atlanta Braves pitching core of the 90's; Glavin, Smoltz, Maddux...

That would be a good one.

My favorite player ever. I was a 10 yr old little league player in 93 as he was becoming the man. I wore 24 for yrs because of him. He was just as good of person as player. Pushed mark and Sammy while not having the same leaded fuel they were running on!! Griffey fan for life. Also, he deserved more mvps, so many guys barely beat him being just offensive players. He was great all around. I think he should have won over frank thomas 1 yr and there was another or 2

Love the content Cam...Miggy Cabrera definitely deserves his flowers💯

Griffey Jr is my favorite player of all time and always will be! Go Ms
