Tonight the Mariners will induct The Kid" Ken Griffey Jr. into the team's Hall of Fame.
My own kid, Max will be in attendance and has some history with Junior. Max was born on the day Griffey re-signed with the Mariners. I made sure the first game Max watched, or peeked at through one,sleepy eye when he was a week old, was one in which Junior was getting his first at bat since his return.
I even attempted to switch Max's name at the last minute to Ken, Kenny or Griffey, but Elisa wisely had us stick to the plan.
So hats off to #24 tonight from your fans big and small.
