Going Home: Ken Griffey Jr. Returns to Seattle


Smell that? That’s nostalgia in the air.

Ken Griffey Jr. has decided to reject the offer from the Atlanta Braves to return where he started it all. In Seattle.

Griffey has signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Mariners for $2 million, with more money to be in earned in incentive bonuses and attendances. Griffey would platoon in left field and could also serve as a designated hitter. Something he couldn’t do in Atlanta since they play in the National League.

Lets hope that Griffey’s second tour in Seattle will bring back the home runs and excitement, rather than pulled hamstrings and broken wrists.
