Induction ceremony ‘more special’ this year for Ken Griffey Jr. as Edgar Martinez joins Hall of Fame

The mind-blowing numbers of Ken Griffey Jr.'s Hall-of-Fame career

Ken Griffey Jr. closed out one of the more memorable induction speeches in the history of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 by pulling a cap out of the podium and putting it on backward in his trademark style.

He has returned for the annual induction ceremony the past two years. It’s part of the responsibility of being a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and something he enjoys and holds important. Besides, he gets to see friends, play a little golf, talk baseball and tell some stories.
