ARTICLE IN THE SEATTLE TIMES (full story click here)

P.S. As a sports fan and Griffey fan, I am happy as hell Grif may be back with the Seattle Mariners real soon. I don’t care if he is 39 years old.

I am happy he will be able to end his career where he started it. Just like he wants. Hopefully he can help the young players on the Mariners, hit a few homers, make a great catch now and then bring more African American fans to Safeco Field.

To the last point, as I write this, the Mariners have zero African Americans on the team, in management and they do little to zero advertising in African American owned media.

When I approch the Mariners media people, I get a bunch of excuses each and every year. This is a problem for sure.

Bringing Grif Jr. back can only help all the way around hopefully.

Grif Jr. did a lot for inner city kids while in Seattle. Mainly at Rainier Vista Boys and Girls Club here in Seattle. He took a bunch of kids to Disneyland every year and more.

Like former Sonic Shawn Kemp, he does it because he wants to, and not for headlines. 

I hope the Mariners will sign Grif Jr. soon. And we can all say here in Seattle “Welcome Back.”   Gordon Curvey
