Jr. was the best. I’m crying thinking about everything he gave the game.
“I saw Griffey at his lowest points,” said Kremchek. “I only wish people realized what this guy went through to play baseball. I was one of the few guys he let into his inner circle and it was unfortunate that it was because of the injury circumstances. But I’ve known a lot of ballplayers and this is one guy I truly consider my friend.”
ME, TOO, DOC.
I consider him a great baseball player, but a greater person – a guy who cares about others. His contributions to the Make-a-Wish Foundation are legion and he never wanted attention for it.
I saw his 500th home run. I saw his 600th home run. I have the baseball from his 531st home run. All that was wonderful, but his friendship is worth much more than a baseball on a shelf and the baseball memories.
