Ken Griffey, Jr. was the player I had the most fun watching in my lifetime. It was mostly on TV, except for a few trips to Yankee Stadium.
By the time I joined the beat in 2001, Junior was in the National League. But I do recall going to the Stadium as a fan in 1995 and 1996 and seeing him in his prime Yankee-killing years. That swing. What a thing of beauty. And you’ll get to see many highlights of it between now and induction day this summer.
Mike Piazza had as pretty a right-handed swing as there ever was.
