The end of an Era...

"The house that Griffey Built"


Spenser and I attended our last Mariners game last night.
How appropriate that it be the first time that Ken Griffey Jr returns to Seattle.

Spenser grew up watching Ken Griffey Jr, and I grew up watching the Reds. What is the chance that our last game in Seattle - be watching Griffey return to play as a Red?

Also added to this game...
*Spenser was at his first Mariners game 18 years ago this week*
(he was 6 weeks old).
*I've not seen the Reds play in more than 21 years.*
(Different league than M's)
-----------------------------------------------------
Griffey gave a speech about how much he missed Seattle...
Spenser reached over and hugged me, and I began to cry. We are looking forward to seeing the East Coast stadiums, but to Spenser and I baseball in the Kingdome and at Safeco has always been a very special bonding time for us. I hope it will continue at Camden Yards, Fenway - and yes, even the house that Ruth built.

(Spenser has a brick in the floor of Safeco Field)

I really believe that you should tell the readers ALL of the adventures of your last game in Seattle...

Or I can! =)
