Griffey Quotes : pic 000786368

Griffey Quotes : pic 000314951
Greaseball, greaseball, greaseball, that's all I throw him (Rod Carew), and he still hits them. He's the only player in baseball who consistently hits my grease. He sees the ball so well, I guess he can pick out the dry side.

(Roberto) Clemente could field the ball in New York and throw out a guy in Pennsylvania.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000067816
On behalf of Major League Baseball, I am terribly saddened by the sudden passing of Kirby Puckett. He was a Hall of Famer in every sense of the term. He was revered throughout the country and will be remembered wherever the game is played. Kirby was taken from us much too soon - and too quickly.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001470759
I'm no George Brett, and I probably never will be.

Joe Morgan was the one guy that absolutely put our team really over the top ... Then we had George Foster come in; Ken Griffey Sr. was as good a two-place hitter as there has ever been in the game, and Cesar Geronimo won four Gold Glove awards. I mean, how could you ask for a better team?
Griffey Quotes : pic 001736660
George [Steinbrenner] is a great guy, unless you have to work for him.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000485908

Griffey Quotes : pic 000730040

He (Lou Gehrig) just went out and did his job every day.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000777486
(Mike) Schmitty provided what the relief pitchers need most, home runs and great defense. He's the best third baseman that I ever played with, and maybe of all-time. Obvious Hall of Famer, even then. He retired while on top of his game. I thought for sure he was going to hit 600 home runs.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001198716
He's (George Steinbrenner) the one who gave me a chance to get to the World Series. This is where I wanted to be all along. We had a couple of nice offers from other teams, but I tied my agents' hands. I told them I wanted to be a Yankee.

batter hell-bent on hitting a home run.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000043550

Griffey Quotes : pic 000502916
Good afternoon ... My name is Lucy ... I'm going to be your right-fielder ... Our special today is a misjudged fly-ball. We also have a nice bobbled ground ball and an exellent late throw to the infield ... I'll be back in a moment to take your order.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000463833
Mike Matheny, Fernando Vina, Edgar Renteria, Mark McGwire and Darryl Kile ... before he died. Those guys took me under their wing and taught me the way to play the game the right way.

Griffey Quotes : pic 000016128
The career batting average (.254) during parts of five Major League seasons for Francisco Cabrera - which proves that it takes only one big hit, on the right stage, to become a legend. Cabrera is still honored in Atlanta, and rightfully so, for winning the 1992 NLCS vs. Pittsburgh.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001478804
Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000678507
I just hope Sammy (Sosa) gets the attention he deserves. Not only has he hit sixty-two homers, but he has carried us. He is without doubt the MVP of the National League.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001175252

Mr. Davis, 66, who is known as Sluggo,
Griffey Quotes : pic 000285913
Carl Yastrzemski was the best all-around player. He could run, throw and hit. He had the ability to play a number of different positions. He signed as a shortstop. He could play the outfield, of course, and third base and first, too. He was a tremendous athlete. Mickey Mantle was unbelievable, too.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000483337

Hey Mantle, you win. You're the worst.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001359823
Any ballplayers that played for me on either the Cardinals or the Yankees could come to me if he were in need and I would give him a helping hand. I made only two exceptions, Carl Mays and Joe Bush. If they were in a gutter, I'd kick them.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001175259
Johnny Sain don't say much, but that don't matter much, because when you're out there on the mound, you got nobody to talk to.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000341632
He (Hoyt Wilhelm) had the best knuckleball you'd ever want to see. He knew where it was going when he threw it, but when he got two strikes on you, he'd break out one that even he didn't know where it was going.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000121425

Griffey Quotes : pic 001407087
Clemens, Seaver, Gibson, Maddux - I just don't see myself in that category. I'm flattered that maybe it's debatable at this point.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001545609
He was something like zero for twenty-one the first time I saw him. His first major league hit was a home run off me and I'll never forgive myself. We might have gotten rid of Willie (Mays) forever if I'd only struck him out.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001259602
I don't want to take anything away from Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. They're both great hitters, but they're batting against guys they never would have seen in previous years.

the ball. I just like watching him hit.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000664406

Griffey Quotes : pic 001345193

Don Gullett's the only guy who can throw a baseball through a car wash and not get the ball wet.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001667918
The other guys, all they have to do is use their big butts and big python arms to hit homers. Me, I'm the little guy in the group. People always root for the little guy.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000424644

I'm a finesse pitcher without the finesse.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001543614
Goose Gossage is a friend of mine, and he's definitely a Hall of Fame pitcher in my mind.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000683503
Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.
Griffey Quotes : pic 001263246
Whether your name is (Lou) Gehrig or (Cal) Ripken, (Joe) DiMaggio or (Jackie) Robinson, or that of some youngster who picks up his bat or puts on his glove, you are challenged by the game of baseball to do your very best day in and day out. That's all I've ever tried to do.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000937750
I hated to bat against Drysdale. After he hit you he'd come around, look at the bruise on your arm and say, 'Do you want me to sign it?'
Griffey Quotes : pic 000065604
George Bowering doesn't play fair. Baseball Love is so good there is no memoir in the league that can go up against it. Bowering has a sense of story and an eye for detail that eliminate the possibility that he was a lousy second baseman. Reading a home run is fun.
Griffey Quotes : pic 000485893
After I got that hit off Satchel (Paige), I knew I was ready for the big leagues.
