SEATTLE -- He's not "The Kid" anymore. He's 46, the father of three and the owner of 630 career home runs, not to mention the highest voting percentage into the National Baseball Hall of Fame of any player in Major League history.
But if there's one thing that can still make Ken Griffey Jr. feel like he's still the little guy running around the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse as he did growing up when his dad played for the Big Red Machine, it's about to happen in Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, when he becomes the first Mariners player inducted into the Hall of Fame.
