Griffey's days in Cincinnati may be numbered
Ken Griffey Jr., playfully yelling moments earlier from his corner of the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse, suddenly is talking in almost a whisper before a game last weekend in Atlanta.
It is flat and unemotional, reflecting no remorse or bitterness about a nine-year-old decision that dramatically altered his career.
"I wouldn't change anything," says Griffey, who was traded to the Reds on Feb. 10, 2000. "I had to leave Seattle when I did. I just had to. They know the real reason why I left."
More than eight years after departing Seattle, it might be time to leave again, perhaps returning to the Northwest.
"It's everybody's dream to go back where they started," the 38-year-old right fielder says. "Everybody who plays the game would love to go out the way they see fit."

Oh come on. Seriously.
Bob Nightengale writes this same Griffey story EVERY FUCKING YEAR. Go ahead and search the RR archives for Griffey and Nightengale or USA Today.

What I found interesting
was the stuff about A-Rod. I’d never heard that before. I wonder if Seattle ever regretted their choice.
