It’s hard to believe, but Ken Griffey Jr. turned 46 on Saturday. It turns out ‘The Kid’ is no longer a kid. I think receiving a plaque in Cooperstown would be a nice gift for the most celebrated player in Mariners’ history this year.

2015 is Junior’s first year of Hall of Fame eligibility, and he is a near lock to be elected on his first ballot. Selected first overall by the M’s in the 1987 draft, Griffey arrived in the Emerald City as a 19-year-old. He spent the first 11 seasons of his illustrious career in Seattle, and returned home for the final year and a half before hanging up his cleats in 2010.
