A wonderfully sad day. One of the greatest hitters to play the game and a true idol from the age when every other power hitter was bulked up on juice.

Thanks for saving baseball in Seattle Jr!

Best player I've ever seen. Not really even close. Classic case of an injury ruining a career, but at least he had a good one already before it all started. Besides--what better way to wreck your wrist than making a ridiculous catch, flying into the outfield wall? Signature Griffey.

We used to all wear our hats backwards for any and all HR derbies. I even learned to switch-hit, so I could imitate him.

Sad to see him go like this. I just hope he doesn't get lost in the 'all-time' discussions.
