Detroit Free Press: “‘He feels so bad — really bad,’ Galarraga said of Joyce, more than a half-hour after the game. ‘He hasn’t even changed out of his uniform.'”
He really is a class act. He knows he got a perfect game, and he seems to be happy with that.
Seattle Times: “So it was Wednesday as Griffey — the greatest player in Mariners history and one of the greatest in the history of the game — said goodbye to baseball.”
We lived in Seattle during those early Griffey years, it was an exciting time in Seattle baseball history, THUNDER DOME! I’ll always remember the run in 1995, and that team. First class guys like Jay Buhner and Edgar Martinez. It was a great time in Seattle. Too bad they couldn’t manage to win a World Series with that group.
Happy retirement Junior.
