At the beginning of the 90′s, two men had the world in the palm of their hands. Michael Jackson was already a living legend and Ken Griffey Jr. was primed to be the greatest baseball player in the history of the game. Sadly, Griffey may never attain that status due to his many injuries, but yesterday he showed why he is still one of the coolest, classiest players out there. In the first inning, Ken wore just one white batting glove instead of his usual two black ones as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Perhaps I’m just nostalgic for the days when I was playing Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball on Super Nintendo, but I choked up a little when I saw this. Choked up on my bat, that is! [Baseball joke!] But seriously, nice work Griffey. You’re still one of the best.
