This is something I dreamed about as a little kid, being back in my hometown (Cincinnati) where I watched so many great players.

I think social media has allowed the players to be able to say things that maybe didn't come out right the first time and say what they really meant. I think that it keeps people fair and honest.

I knew unless I got stopped I was going to go all the way. I don't know if I can run any faster. I just ran as fast as I could.

Well, my dad (Ken Griffey) taught me that there's three parts. There's hitting, there's defense, and there's baserunning. And as long as you keep those three separated, you're going to be a good player. I mean, you can't take your defense on the bases, you can't take your hitting to the field, and you can't take your baserunning at the plate. But defense, is number one.

You lose, you smile, and you come back the next day. You win, you smile, you come back the next day.

My name is not 'The Best Player in Baseball.' My name is George Kenneth Griffey, Jr.
