Tough guy. I think he broke his face going after a fly ball once. Hit four (4) home runs in consecutive AB’s against White Sox in 2002. I was there. That tied a record. Almost hit five, that ball was caught on the warning track. The first two were in the first inning, followed home runs by Brett Boone each time, the only time players hit back-to-back home runs in the same inning.

Good player to be sure, but only four seasons with the M’s, and they never even won a pennant. Could understand if he played ten quality seasons, but this is yet another example of the watered down, self-congratulatory nature of some franchises. Using this standard, Griffey Jr. should have Safeco Field named after him.

Underrated guy throughout his career because of his low batting average. Hit a good amount of homers and could really run. His defense was solid as any other CF in the game. Great clubhouse guy too. Happy trails Mike.
