Ken Griffey Jr. 'The Kid' Blue PO Hoody

“The two misconceptions of me are that I didn’t work hard, and everything I did I made look easy.” The pure swing. The gliding nature in which he strode to the plate. The ease in which he put the bat through the ball. Of all the baseball players of the 20th century, nobody made it look as effortless — and as fun — as “The Kid,” Ken Griffey Jr. The countless hours working at his craft? It wasn’t easy. Yet when the lights came on what we saw wasn’t just a 19-year-old phenom taking the field — it was the evolution of baseball. Officially licensed by Ken Griffey Jr.
