Arguably the greatest player of his generation, Ken Griffey Jr. all but single-handedly saved baseball in Seattle with his monstrous home runs and breathtaking centerfield defense.

As with all the greatest athletes, from Babe Ruth to Jim Brown to Michael Jordan, statistics provided only the barest glimpse of Griffey's dazzling array of talents. No number of Gold Gloves could do justice to the sight of him racing back to scale the outfield wall and snag a baseball that had seemed destined for the bleachers.

The son of former Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Sr., Junior spent much of his childhood in the Reds' locker room during the heyday of the Big Red Machine, the great Cincinnati clubs that would capture back-to-back World Championships in the mid-1970s. The team camaraderie and dedication to winning above all else served as formative experiences for the child who would one day say "My teammates are more important to me than myself" and who would spend much of his own career trying to recreate the atmosphere he had found in his father's world. Junior's precocious talents, meanwhile, allowed him and his dad to become the first father/son duo to play in the major leagues concurrently, the first to start in the same lineup and the first to hit home runs in the same game.
