The Reds traded for Ken Griffey Jr. on Feb. 10, 2000. 

The Cincinnati kid came home after spending 11 seasons in Seattle. 

It is one of the most exciting moments for a franchise that struggled for most of the late 90s and 2000s. 

Griffey spend nine seasons with the Reds, posting a .270/.362/.514 slash line and hitting 210 home runs in 945 games. Injuries got in the way during Griffey's tenure with the team, but he did make the All-Star team three times in Cincinnati.
