The Top Ten Thoughts That Went Through Ken Griffey Jr.’s Mind As He Hit His 500th Home Run.
“What a coincidence — today’s also the 500th time I took a leak in Sean Casey’s locker.”
Ken Griffey & Ken Griffey, Jr. - 1991 Mariners pocket schedule
In 1991 I lived in Bellingham, Washington from the end of May until the end of September. It’s a long story, but I’d moved there alone, without knowing a soul, and I’m not exaggerating when I say baseball was my best friend that summer. Though I only saw one game in the KingDome, Mariners radio broadcasts were a nightly ritual. I tagged along as Ken Griffey, Jr. knocked the ennui out of Mariners fans and took them for a wild ride. This pocket schedule is probably the only memento I have from my time in Washington. It’s enough.
Thanks for everything, Junior.
All the Seattle Mariners commercials for 2010, plus a “making of” video at the end.
I don’t even know how I found this but it is lol-arious. And I think ariready was right - the Mariners have the best commercials in baseball. They’re at least tied with the Rangers, anyway.
