Griffey Comes "Home"

Just read the news that Ken Griffey Jr signed with the Mariners for this season. man, that's good news.

After the disaster that was last season - it is good to see some news like this. I was just starting to follow baseball when Griffey started with the Mariners. I had graduated from college that year and moved to LA for my first real job (a bad idea - that led t a good thing - that led to a bad thing - that eventually turned out great) and baseball kept me attached to the Northwest. Then the year after the strike, the Mariners had their greatest season (even greater than the 116 wins) - and beat the Yankees in five games - five awesome games. I've been a fan ever since. In fact I just got my new hat for this year in the mail today, and I'm wearing to work!

Feels like spring to me. Bring on summer.
