Griffey was without stating too much of the obvious, an icon. He was a star unlike any star Seattle sports had ever seen. From his backward hat, to his infectious smile and of course to the sweetest baseball swing anyone has ever seen; every 90s kid in Seattle and around the nation wanted to be Ken Griffey Jr.
Griffey put up outrageous stats and is considered one of the only players of his era not to use performing enhancing drugs. Jr was one of a kind and if he remained healthy he would most likely be the all time home run king.
