Former Moeller High School standout and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. shared a story (in the video at the top) of a childhood memory in advance of Mother's Day in which he had to "take care of Mom, no matter what" - even if it meant beaning another player.
In fairness to mom, C. Trent Rosecrans wrote in January of 2016 about Griffey's mother - a story that (though his anecdote above obviously is meant to be humorous) more than proves - in reality - what a kind-hearted and generous person Birdie Griffey is.
Junior was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in January of 2016 and inducted in July.
