Ken Griffey Jr. opened up about why he never signed with Yankees

[APOPHIS]

Respects!
He's actually one of my favorite baseball players ever and I barely watched the sport back then -- less now.

 

[slam]

his wife latina...?

 

[dtownsfinest]

Im not a baseball guy but even Griffey made me watch a few games around that time....

That's classic. I Didn't know him and his dad both were on the Mariners at one point. Jr had that smirk on his face like he did some shit when he snagged that shit up.

his wife latina...?

Looks like a sista to me but shit who knows.

[Mo-Better]

The story I remember was Jr. didn't appreciate the way the Yankees handled his father.

 

[SamSneed]

Does it matter bout his wife, she ain’t white so move on damn

this is bout how one black man was hated on and he knew his son would be a goat

and made sure it would happen, y’all niggas lame af with that dumb shit

 

[Riggz]

Sweetest swing in baseball ever.

 

[Complex]

Didn't know about this

Fucked up

 

[kdogg3270]

Edgar martinez
Tino martinez
alex rodriguez
Ken Griffey Jr.
Jay Buhner
Omar Visquel
Randy Johnson

No pitching though, until after Griffey left. Plus had to compete with those beast CLE (Albert Belle, Thome, Manny, etc.) and Oriole teams... Not to mention the Stankees.

Doesn't surprise me ...It seemed like George Steinbrenner always has beefs with black players. Reggie Jackson Dave Winfield Rickey Henderson ...no black player seemed to leave on good terms with him. He liked trashing people on the way out and after they left.

Then you got his love affair with Billy Martin an alcoholic nutcase who also stayed into it with black players. I think them 2 was on some "Brokeback Mountain " shit.

Wait but he played for the Reds,that bitch of an owner was KKK racist

 

[Seano]

Not surprised. Yankees were the 2nd to last MLB team to add a black player. The Red Sox were the last.
