    You're nuts. He is in better shape than when he left. He may be 10 years older, but has more experience than you will ever have in baseball. I am not expecting 56 homeruns, I am expecting his leadership and his role modeling for the younger Mariners on this team.

      I too, love griffey, but "better shape than when he left"? Please.

  He is the greatest player to ever roam the outfield in Seattle starting in 1989, leaving in 1999 only to return to his baseball roots in 2009. There is no other consummate ballplayer who has my respect as much as he does. I raised my sons on Ken Griffey Jr. Can remember the 1995 playoff game with the Angels where I was crazy enough to take three boys under the age of 10. I thank him for understanding that he NEEDS to be in Seattle.

  He looks like an athlete who is turning 40 and hasn't used steroids or HGH... big deal

  "...I thank him for understanding that he NEEDS to be in Seattle. " AND Seattle NEEDS him to be back. If for nothing else, to help give us something to think about besides how awful this team has become under the "guidance" of Howard Lincoln.

  I actually like this picture better from the same gallery. He still has the sweetest swing in baseball. I am also giddy.

    So true. Here's best griffey swing photo ever. Unfortunately the top left corner reminds us how long ago it was ("Joe Smith: The NBA's #1")

  Griffey's one of the all time greatest... He's gettin up there in yrs... he just put on a few extra lbs during the off season... dude's got a bit to get it back to playing weight... needs to definitely get it off so that he doesn't add strain to the knees...

  I love Griffey, but I think his lack of commitment to conditioning is his biggest downfall. So much God given talent but I do not think he reached his true potential because of that.

    Any man with six pack abs that's leaning with their arms back and tugging on their shirt will look like he has a gut. It's not hard to do. I guarantee that Ken Griffey Jr is in fantastic shape. It was bad timing that a picture was taken while he was in that stance.
    • mitressehc replied February 24, 2009

      Dude, those are not six pack abs.
      • bryanh replied February 24, 2009

        Word. Plus, he's clearly wearing the XXL fleece pull over to hide his spare tire.
    • BRINKSTER replied February 24, 2009

      He's right I know form personal experience;)
• SeaPilot69 said February 24, 2009

  Here's another pic of that perfect swing.

  Griffey will def be my all time favorite player in MLB just for the reason he never used STERIODS...... And the reason i know this is look at the guy he never went from 185lbs to 225lbs in a year. You can tell they guys that used roids.
