Griffey was the youngest player in the majors — still only 19 — on April 10, 1989, when he homered off the Chicago White Sox’s Eric King on the first pitch he saw at Seattle’s Kingdome.
Homer No. 36 was one of his most satisfying. It came one batter after his father, Ken Sr., homered off California’s Kirk McCaskill on Sept. 14, 1990, an unprecedented father-and-son moment in the majors.
Nice. I'm a big fan of Griffey's as well. I used to argue with a friend of mine about who was better, Bonds or Jr (before all the home runs and seroid controversy). I'd like to see him again and find out what his thoughts are.
