Mmm. Nap time.
Ken Griffey Jr. has decided to pursue a new career where he can nap all day long every day, and has announced his retirement from baseball, effective immediately. Now, those of us who follow baseball may be wondering why Griffey didn’t make his retirement retroactive to three seasons ago, and none more so than loyal perfectlydarien.com reader and owner of the Seattle Mariners Hiroshi Yamauchi, who has paid Griffey $4.35 million over the last year and a half to play below replacement level at DH.
Griffey is survived by his 630 career home runs, leaving him stuck behind Bonds, Aaron, Ruth, and Hey. So now you know the mark you need to beat, Sammy! Good luck!
