Ken Griffey, Jr retires

He's been in the league for 22 seasons?
Remember when him and Shawn Kemp were running things in Seattle? Yeah, but Kemp was running rampant in other endeavors as well...
He did catch flack for wearing his cap backwards during batting practice...
He also would bump the hottest tracks of the day during said practice, too!
I never could forgive him for being quoted in "The Source" for plugging Eric B's solo album. It was like reading about Muhammad Ali talking to white supremacists, a heartbreaker!
Him being the 1st Hip-hop superstar in baseball has kind of faded over time.
Much like his nickname "The Kid" kind of lost its luster since he's pushing 40 years old now.
Thing is, given the make-up of the league, now, Hip-Hop might not be as relevant to the players now as it was then.

End of an era....
