I met griffey in 99 when i worked for the Texas Rangers, he was the only mariner that spoke back. I talked to him for like 3 mins while they warmed up on the field. Awesome dude all day long.
I am so honored to be born the same day as him I never got to see him play but I really wish I did
@@Enderman-rz9bz
Griffey was the goat especially in his playing days
@Jax T
Awww jealousy looks good on you
He alone made me a Mariners fan as a kid in Idaho. I remember loving that we shared the same first name and he was a junior like me when I was 6 or 7 years old around that time. From then on out he was my idol as a kid. Sadly I'm still a Mariners fan....
One day I got VIP tickets for a Bengals game from work and sat by Ken Griffey Sr and Jr , Dave Parker and Bootsy Collins . They were all cool and having a good time . I was kinda starstruck at first but they couldn't have been nicer to me and my son.
His numbers vs the Yankees: .311 avg, 156 hits, 36 home runs, 102 RBI’s and 101 runs scored in 133 games lol 🐐
That's badass. That's like an entire season's worth of statistics against one team. Great numbers!
hof numbers. still remember his sports illustrated yankee killer cover. legendary issue
And that was against arguably the best team in baseball which won 4 World Series. As a Mets fan Griffey JR was my absolute favorite player of all time.
The only number that counts in Baseball is 27 World Series Trophies.
The 27 Title Nonsense is so stale
I'm a lifelong New Yorker, and I heard ALOT OF STORIES about the Yankees behind the scenes, especially from those who work and did business with the stadium. not suprized at all.
Yeah, but that's also not the fault of the fanbase, even though I'm a true-blue Yankees Hater from birth. So much so I married into it. 🤪
But stuff like this shouldn't smear fan bases, because all of our teams have a skeleton or two hanging in our closets like David Carradine on a muggy night in Bangkok. 😝
What, too soon? 😋
Hopfully they are not like that anymore
This man had the most beautiful swing in the game it looked so effortless with so much power
word... Stuart Scott analyzing... good days.
Go look at Strawberry's swing, the most effortless swing in MLB history
@@kdaphi6275 Strawberry had a great swing, no doubt. But Strawberry is not even in the discussion regards the power Griffey Jr. had.
and Will Clark?
@@abbyboyone I'll never forget Will " The Thrill " Clark ... That swing was also beautiful art... even when he swung & missed it looked cool... Man those were the glory days of baseball I miss so bad😢😢😢
I'm sorry I just noticed all them golden gloves I've been in awe this whole time staring at this man, now I'm in awe of his trophies, ooh lawd.
HE WAS TOP 1-2/ CF OF ALL TIME IN MY BOOK
This guy is not maybe, he is the best mlb player ever. Nobody played harder than he did, in fact once he broke his arm catching a ball against the center field fall. Here's a guy who never had to resort to steroids or peds or anything. Still, he was the best defensive player and like I said the best all around player ever. There will never be another like Ken griffey jr., Also he's the only player who played with their dad, which was pretty cool.
@@jamesamick2945 Mike Trout is comparable, if not slightly better.
@@jamesamick2945 Bonds....Barry Bonds. Even before PED
@@TheTrueSpadeSupreme now I know you're joking, that was just disrespectful to even compare trout with the kid
I'm a Yankee fan and I don't blame him at all.
Nor do you blame the Yankees.
27 rings ...
Agreed
Totally agree
Such a stupid reason !
Sensitive pffff
Hes the goat he got the highest votes into the hall of fame 99% should have got 100%
Mariano has 100% only unanimous HOF'er
@@matsalvatore9074 yes your right I forgot and Jeter was the next highest then griffey
@@keithdoherty7396 writers who never played doesn't validate anything to me. I dont care about the hall anymore.
@@keithdoherty7396 im a Yankees fan and I loved Mariano my son will be named Mariano n he deserves 100% but come on Jeter higher votes then Griffey lol
Probably a Yankee lol
Between Griffey Jr, Edgar Martinez, and Ichiro I can never decide which one is my favorite. Each one a legend.
That was the team tho
Randy Johnson
I'm a Yankee fan and I respect him for his reasons.
I met him in 1998 in Arlington Texas, My brother in law was the hitting coach for the Seattle team and Griffey walked over and introduced himself to me “hi I’m Ken Griffey Jr”.
I was shocked but I shook hands with him and introduced myself to him. What a great guy! I still have the autographed cards (5) that he gave me!
As a kid I really admire his baseball game. You can even tell off the field he is still a solid person. Still enjoy his composure!
And his unfirgivingnrss too ?
Ken Griffey Jr and Darryl Strawberry had two of sweetest swings of the bat I had ever seen. Even though I am a lifelong Yankees fan, I was a huge fan of "the Kid". Salute and respect to Junior.
Micheal Jordan wasn't there, but he took it personally too.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
GOAT!!😂😂😂
Lmao
Facts cuz he dropped numbers against NY now look years later with the BS with Oakley & the owner
Ken Griffey Jr. Was on everyone's wall when I was growing up. When I was a kid watching him he was so cool to us. The chain, earring, his shoes, backwards hat with the swing dude he was by far the most popular player at his time to us. He was a clean player too. We've always hated the Yankees
Not my wall, but I had the glove and the shoes. They didn't match anything in my wardrobe. Lol
I'm a Yankee fan and I loved and respected Ken Griffey Jr.
He don’t respect you if he did he would played for the Yankees
@@tylermanter36 That's a non sequitur.
Why would he not take that personally?
Because he's the kid
@@carlosinda3553 what are you saying?
I'm a lifelong Yankee fan. Always loved Griffey. I'm sorry to hear this story.
Yeah same but I'm glad he had a good bond with the players were not the problem it was the big boss.
The big boss is in his grave now and nowadays how does it benefit Griffey Jr financially and psychologically to hold on to the grudge against the Yankees.
@@abrahambowen8332 What do you care? Anyway, he didn't say he still holds a grudge; he was recounting the story underlying his statement that he would never play for the Yankees.
@@kqatsi Well He sounds unforgiving towards the Yankees because of a bad experience years ago . I don't agree with it but no one can tell him to forgive if he doesn't want to.
There's a saying that God forgives all the time people forgive sometimes.

@@jwat3217 it’s insanely good
Thanks 4 da stats
i remember collecting baseball cards in 1989 and that one card everyone wanted was the griffey upperdeck rookie card. it was so valuable back then. i also got his autograph in cleveland. he was the man.
Man I remember that card as a kid in the 7th grade. I had his upper deck 1990 card. I went to college my freshman year in 1995 and left that card at my dorm and was sick that I left it. I don't know why on earth I took it with me away to college but I had that card inside a protective case with my 1989 Donruss Bo Jackson baseball card.
Still got mine #1
his dad did the right thing. don’t get mad. don’t protest. make sure your son sees and understands what just happened then make sure he never forgets it
There's no benefit in holding this grudge anymore either financially or psychologically.
The fact that Ken Griffey Sr and Jr won't forgive the Yankees is because there's a saying that God forgives all the time people forgive sometimes.
Also I'm sure that Ken Griffey Jr and Sr know that the Yankees weren't and aren't the only team that had and had racism.
All teams were and are racist in their own ways
With all due respect to his father I wonder why hw played with the Yankees.
Maybe with all due respect to Griffey Sr he shouldn't have played with the Yankees he should have stayed with me reds or if he couldn't stay with them signed with teams other than the Yankees
It would of been one thing to see the other kid in the dugout where he didn't want anyone but players. And then he was the only one asked to leave. But that's kinda not how it went down
as a die hard yankee fan since 09 I don't blame him for feeling that way
My Idols growing up Ken Griffey JR. & Don Mattingly, two of the greatest class acts In baseball history!
I’m 30 now but when I was a kiddo Griff was The Dude !
Griff took every opportunity possible to give it to the yanks back in the day. I remember🤦🏻♂️
The hall of fame voter who didnt elect Griffey first ballot should've had his voting rights revoked.
Griffey Jr was the greatest of his generation and his swing is as iconic as the Jerry West NBA logo, MJ's nike logo, and the Heisman pose.
I love how in this interview Ken Griffey Junior Is just chilling with all his gold gloves in the display case in the background.
Not only my favorite player but created the Best Baseball Game EVER on SNES!!!!
So many memories playing that game....youre right...it was the GOAT baseball game.
FACTS!!!!!
My favorite baseball player growing up. The sweetest swing in baseball history. Not to mention KGJR Presents Major League Baseball for the NES. Dope
Yankees was always my favorite team but this guy ken Griffey jr was my favorite player📠💯 🐐
Same.
Where the heck have I been, not being down on bro's site all this time. Cue laughter..... Big up Shan!
this man has so many golden gloves 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Remember that. Wow. Well said Griffey Sr.
Ken Griffey, Jr. took it personally before Jordan made that a thing... so Jordan was like "You take it personally? Okay, fine." From that point on, it became personal with him.
1982 Yankees fascinated me because that was my first year of watching baseball. George picked on Griffey that year. Goose tried to stick up for him.
I was once called for a travel in the hood when I only took 1 step. Life goes on.
WE LOVE YOU GRIFFEY 💯💯💯
I first read about this in Don Baylor's book. Baylor was good friends with Sr. while they were on the Yankees. Baylor said something like they both laugh when Martin said he loved having Junior around the clubhouse, because they knew that was all BS!
There is a difference between feilding ground balls, then sitting a dugout.
Ken Griffey Jr 🐐
Him being my favorite Baseball player ever and the Yankees being my favorite Baseball team. This hurt knowing that this relationship can never be repaired.
I understand Griffey kra hurt but what good would it do for him to hold a grudge over an incident that happened 40 yes ago.
I hope as time goes on he will eventually forgive the Yankees
Maybe the relationship is only as irreparable as Griffey Jr allows it to be .
Maybe Griffey Jr isn't wired to be a forgiving person he should realize that the longer he holds a grudge the more power he gives the trauma over him.
He's a millionaire he can afford a therapist for his trauma or maybe he just wants to keep the bitterness alive and trying to milk as much pity as he can from the public.
Quincy Johnson It may be hard or unlikely but not impossible for the relationship to be repaired .
I'm so happy this didn't tarnish Ken. My favorite player of all time.
Good for you Kenny!
Haven’t watched a baseball game since he left Seattle; absolute legend
Wow that so great just when i.though I couldn't like griffey anymore that I I already do.
Imagine Griffey in Yankee Stadium? Would have had the all time homerun record.
Aka he took it personal lol
Why wouldn't he dummy
As anybody would lol
@@kennethjackson1771 he was making fun of Jordan in "The last dance"
Wtf!? Uh yeah!
It was
HARD.
As a Yankee fan that was born in the early 90s I always loved him, my favorite player ever. And to hear him say this I’m like Fck yeah, personally in his shoes I would’ve never joined the Yankees either. Makes me love him even more tbh
Never forget!!
Lucky to have grown up watching him play in the Kingdome.
Like many growing up watching baseball in the 80-90’s, there are very few that I truly admired, but Griffey Jr, Bo Jackson, Tony Gwynn, Derek Jeter...I have their jerseys (authentic ones) because of what they meant to the game, how they treated it and played with the upmost respect. 👍🇺🇸
I wear my old school jersey vtn majestic..no cool base jersey gotta be original.
😄 good story, thanks.
PS , Jr. Saw your 4 home run game in the old Kingdom. 👍.
Larry Bird is Legend.
Charles Barkley is Sir.
Jordan is Air.
Robinson is The Admiral.
Ken Jr. is Swingman.
HoF. One of the baddest dudes to step onto the field.
You forgot Malone is the mailman.
Awesome list.
Ken Griffey Jr. played minor league ball up here in VT back when I was 8 or 9, always been my favorite player since back then!
I've been a griffey fan since i was 11 yrs old. Im 37. He is the best player ever. And I was wondered why he never went to Yankees at the very least to get a ring. If anyone deserves a ring it's griffey.
KGJ is my favorite player of all time, and his numbers vs. the Yankees are outstanding. Having said that, it sucks that the Mariners couldn't beat the Yankees when it mattered. To this day, I am still a Mariners fan, and it sucks that they have never been in the WS.
They beat them in 1995 when it mattered.
Perfect example of not victimizing yourself over something uncontrolable, and instead embracing it.
Griffey jr was and still my favorite player and I’m a yankee fan. When he was still playing I always wished he played for the Yankees but I totally understand his reasons so when I play my MLB on PlayStation I put him on the Yankees. Lol
Saw this dude play for San Berdoo Spirit when I was at Cal State...clearly best player then, top 10 all time
I would go as far as saying easily top 5 if not the GOAT.
Good for him he is an always be a legend, stick to your values
My father told me similar type stories about why he wasn't a Yankee fan so I grew up a Mets fan . Griffey has to be the best player I've seen in my lifetime so far. Great numbers
I’m a Washington kid, from the 90’s, K G Jr. showed me how to be a man and have fun doin it. The goat
Agreed 👍🏿
That explains a lot
KG before KG ... anything is possible
Crazy !!! Because I said the same went I was playing for Different reasons...
How satisfying must it have been to beat the Yankees in 95.
My favorite player
Can’t be mad for his reasons and I’m a Yankee fan
When Griffey says, “‘He’ went up to my dad....” is the “he” supposed to be Steinbrenner or like a security guard for the stadium enforcing Steinbrenner’s rules?
I thought the same thing.
Hes to classy to name names. Probably
Billy Martin lookin to throw down after
Having 1 beer lol
In the documentary he says it was a security guard
@@rubenclaudiojr7844 Nah man, what security guard is gonna cuss Ken Griffey Sr?
Billy Martin
The greatest player I've ever seen no 🧢🧢
Cappin. But backwards 😜😜
All 🎓. Ever seen Barry Bonds?
Griffey is the best man
as a lifelong M's fan who idolizes Griffey.....that's all the more fuel I need to hate the Yankees even more than I already do.
Im a Mets fan. Alway hated the Yankees for some reason. Just didn't know why until now!
Same..
Greetings Unk. You get your Mountain Dew? Think the Lakers will repeat? should be a another great season
That's why he's my favorite! Beautiful swing! Hates the Yankees !
I like him even more
my favorite ballplayer of all time.. and he never played for my team...
When u gon have Bron on here? 😂😂😂😂
We all wondering that
Has he ever even mentioned or acknowledged Shannon? Cause he seems to just ignore everybody in the media whether they support him or not.
@@Survivor-cp7gc idk but my friend who works for the cavs said he acknowledged him and gave shannon some gear shoes etc
2020 Survivor yes a lot actually
Bron shouted out Shannon on his birthday he’s not a media guy he’s a hall of famer
My Mama would've said the same thing.
We’ll spoken
Next he’ll reveal why he hates Norm MacDonald 😆
Instead, he went to Cincinnati, never went to the post season and spent most of his time on the DL 😂
Whoever said “Steinbrenner said x y z” mighta just used his name. You never know how far that rolled downhill
How can you have prejudice/racism in your heart against a child? How sour does your soul have to be to do that? I know things aren't perfect today, but me, I'm proud of how far people/humanity has come in the last 20 years. On the INDIVIDUAL level things are MUCH much better.
There has been a SHIFT in "conscious identifying." Meaning, people are largely defined by WHAT THEY DO (their actions) as opposed to some surface category they fit into.
That's true but it's been a long time and holding a grudge over things that happened in the past puts an unnecessary burden on your back and doesn't benefit you at all
Maybe Griffey Jr needs to get therapy to get this off of his back.
Lots of things you could say about Ken Griffey Jr. I think one word sums him up best, competitor.
The real G.O.A.T
Imagine if we had that mindset today as a culture. There would be no asking and begging to be treated equally. There would be no marching etc. Straight up working together knowing as we been knew and know now. They don't want us so we need to build our own and make our own. All while walking and breathing the same air drinking same water driving same streets. I digress. I love his outtake on this tough subject. He used there hate to be GREAT.
B1
If a person is begging to be treated equally then there's a problem all around. The person is not begging to be treated better than everyone else they're begging to be treated the same.
@@AllFlashNoDash you treat your guy friend the same way you treat your girl friend?
And those hateful people are the minority, being used as examples by our oppressors of how all people think. Divide and conquer. If the television is telling you what the think, you better be very suspicious.
We're you by chance alive in the 80s and 90s , when it was pretty well obvious that the idea of anyone being inferior was a thing of the past ? You know, before Obama and the Democratic party undermined 40 years of progress with regard to race relations with their irresponsible rhetoric and implication that isolated instances of racism shown on the internet and tv news were indicative of the attitude of the country as a whole ? I was.
ken jr was a great hitter i watched him and Randy Johnson.
It's amazing folks who don't go through the African American experience are quit to tell African Americans that racism no longer exist and quit complaining. Like we just make up everything.
"...a little bit better." HOF better. Junior was the best I've ever seen. ⚾️
The Original GOAT...
KEN "the KID" GRIFFEY Jr....B4 Jordan there was the KID 🎶💥⚾️💥🎶
Curt schilling said it best,,, me play for the Yankees!,, I'd rather quit baseball.
And who cares about what he or you think? Yankees rule
Don’t lesion him in any conversation about JR. That’s insulting
Ironic that a racist wack job like schilling has the same position as KG regarding the Yankees...
Apparently there’s a myriad of reasons to hate the Yankees.
I wonder if schilling would have changed his mind about them if he heard about how racist they were.
Last time I checked being a conservative doesn't mean someone is a racist. No matter how much the media may want you to think that. You might want to learn to think for yourself.
@@patricklord2575 What makes him racist?
I love that he hates the Yankees. That’s my guy, my hometown man.
⚾️ 🐐
As cool as it could have been to have Ken Griffey Jr. play for the Yankees he was born a Mariner and did well with Seattle. Plus we had Bernie Williams it worked out alright. Like he said it wasn't the players he didn't like he liked Derek Jeter, Mo, Posada, Bernie and other Yankee players. He didn't like George Steinbrenner because of how his dad was treated.
Both Steinbrenner and Billy Martin
@@nathanielmcdonald17 very true.
That's very funny. The Yankee's have a long history of character's in management and the dug-out. We call it, "the empire."
“That’s all it took.”
One of the few times that I was ashamed of being from NYC.
Seriously Yankees fans are toxic. Undeserving of that team cashman gives them.
Yeah thats a real statement, poor people in the bronx who watch the yankees are toxic . And wth you mean undeserving of the team cashman gives them ? You mean the teams that keep coming up short ? Get real its win or go home in yankee land
@@robertbogert8257 I haven’t heard a yankee fan who doesn’t complain about the team. I remember when they traded for Stanton, happy they got him. Has that 0-4 4 strikeout day and they immediately boo him and it was still April . Seriously y’all are ungrateful.
With all due respect don't stereotype us it's unfair to stereotype a whole group of people.
There are heroes and jerks in every group of people.
