Seattle is proud to welcome Ken Griffey, Jr back to Safeco Field. He will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in July. Griffey is the first player as a Mariner to be inducted. A celebration is planned later in the season to recognized his induction. Opening season for the Seattle Mariner's home game on Friday, April 8 against the Oakland Athletics was another sold out crowd. A perfect spring evening with the first pitch by no other than our own Ken Griffey Jr. who came out of retirement momentarily.
A favorite time for families with a additional play area this season and more food vendors to help satisfy those hungry appetites during the games. Let's hope for a winning season and get back into the lineup of wins and strike outs.reat memories for all the years playing baseball as "the kid".
