Please, Please, Please. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The day we sent Ken Griffey Jr. to the Reds for a young Mike Cameron, Brett Tomko, and Antonio Perez. Maybe of few good years out of Cammy, but I feel that both ways this trade would've been better off never happening. I know bringing Griffey back now wouldn't change too much in the stat collumn as he's aged, and can't do a lot of what he was able to do. The impact in the community, and all around morale of the team would be a complete turn around. He did build Safeco. When you think of Seattle Mariners baseball, you think of Ken Griffey Jr. I wore the #24 in every sport I played because of him. I was 8 yrs. old his rookie season, and remember even the bad years being good with him around. Now living in Portland, I know I'd personally make trip after trip up to the safe to watch him finish his career in Seattle. He'd also lift the spirits of the youngsters and give us a reliable leader. I mean after all Raul Ibanez, and Richie Sexson are not it. As good as Ichiro is, we can't rely on him to lead the youngsters. On a finishing note, would Griffey really be any worse statistically than Ibanez and Sexton anyways?
