Ken Griffey Jr. and Alex Rodriguez starred for the Seattle Mariners in what seems like a lifetime ago...however last night they rekindled some of their magic as opponents in the new Yankee Stadium.
Hall of Fame
I began watching baseball because of Junior, so when he hit career home run number 621 in the 6th inning off Andy Pettitte...I cheered. The Yankees won 4-2, for their 7th consecutive win, as this game turned out to be one for the history books.
Griffey and A-Rod entered the game with at least 550 home runs each as they both extended their totals by connecting on home runs. The last time a feat like this happened, it was Hank Aaron and Willie Mays on May 8, 1971.
Baseball entails thinking in various situations, but at the end of the day it's a numbers game, and its because of moments like this, that I revel in it.

I can't even begin to tell you how much I admired and still do, Griffey's game. From having the prettiest swing in baseball EVER to his great attitude towards the game. If we would've stayed Healthy god knows what numbers he would've had. Prettiest Swing in baseball EVER AG...prove me wrong lol
If Junior didn't get hurt...then he would have destroyed some of the all-time MLB records. And yes he has the best swing in baseball...I don't know about ever, but he is at least in the top 5 of best swings...maybe he's first as a lefty...?
Wow you just went in ! Griffey in my heart will be one of the best ever in my heart. Great story!
