This weekend — Sunday at 1:30 p.m., to be precise — Ken Griffey Jr. will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The cap on his plaque won’t have a wishbone-C, but Junior is a Cincinnati legend, and we should all remember him that way.
Who can forget that day in February of 2000 when Junior returned home? Perhaps the best player in baseball — or at least, that’s how most people referred to him — wanted to play for the Reds.
Remember it? This was the MVP, Ken Griffey Jr.
