How Ken Griffey Jr. saved a man's life

JASON VASS IS WEARING a Ken Griffey Jr. sweatshirt and a Ken Griffey Jr. hat when he opens the front door. He motions to come in and then points toward the bottom of the front stairs, and the official tour of one of the world's largest, life-changing collections of sports memorabilia begins.

Actually, the tour could have started in the driveway, home to Vass' Ford Fusion with a vanity plate saying "GRIFFEY."

Or out back in his shed, where he's storing a rolled-up banner of Griffey that used to hang in the Kingdome.
