On a day that we saw two future Hall of Famers, who combine for over 1100 home runs, change caps, I must say I'm having a hard time dealing with it. Ken Griffey Jr is in his 20th year of Major League service. He spent 11 years with the Seattle Mariners and the last 9 with Cincinnati. Now, Junior takes his act to the South Side of Chicago and back to center field as well.
Manny Ramirez takes the "Manny being Manny" show to LA. Like Griffey, Manny has played for only two teams during his 16-year career, eight each with the Indians and Red Sox. The eccentric slugger will now take orders from Joe Torre. A clash of the titans could be in store as Dodgers third base coach Larry Bowa is notorious for riding guys who don't hustle. It will be interesting to see how the remaining 8 weeks of the season play out.
I'd like to see Griffey get to play in the World Series, but seeing him in black pin stripes is going to take some getting used to.
