“The Kid” is now Old, Sleepy
- Simpler times, before athletes raped people.
In an unspecified game in Seattle last week, aging baby face Ken Griffey, Jr., aka, The Kid, aka, my favorite baseball player ever, missed out on an opportunity to pinch hit because he went back into the club house during the game and ended up taking a little nap. No, not passing out like “thanks for letting me inside of you, I’m going to sleep now” passing out, but more like “my god, my bones feel like it’s going to rain, I’m taking a nap” passing out. Hey, he’s getting old now, lay off.
I find this story humorous for many reasons. First is the fact that it is even reported. Second is I’m not quite sure what is going to happen to Griffey, because if this was reported to get him in trouble I’m going to be PISSED. The Mariners suck salmon eggs this season, and it’s got to be hard for an old timey slugger to watch a team lose like he is doing. True, he swims in money during his workouts, but he’s also a genuinely good person, so him having more money than I could ever kill for doesn’t bother me. And look on the bright side; at least he’s not getting involved in rape stings!
This got me thinking though, what other signs of aging must my favorite ball player have, indicating his reverse Benjamin Button? I have some ideas after the jump (of course) …
