Enjoy the journey, they said. There might actually be something to that.

To my untrained eye nothing in baseball ever looked more enjoyable than being Ken Griffey Jr. and hitting a home run. It seemed as though whenever the DNA and genes were codified for Junior the goal was to find the aesthetic peak of the sport of baseball. Nothing that Griffey ever did looked unnatural or forced. I doubt I will ever see anything like that again.
