Ken Griffey Jr to announce retirement
One of the best ..
http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/06/02/k...ce-retirement/ SEATTLE -- Ken Griffey Jr. is retiring Wednesday, FanHouse has learned. Sources said that Griffey, who didn't report to Safeco Field for the Mariners' game against the Minnesota Twins Wednesday, is saying "it's over.'' Griffey, the man who more than any other helped build the Mariners into a viable franchise as the premier center fielder of the the 1990s, played for Seattle from 1989-1999 and came back again in 2009 where he helped revitalized the franchise. But he hasn't been able to duplicate that success in 2010 and he's gotten increasingly less playing time. He's only had seven at-bats since May 18 as Mike Sweeney has become increasingly more productive as the Mariners' designated hitter.

Right call, but it should have been done after last season in my opinion.

My favorite baseball player of all-time. Had a great career and I think he made the right choice by stepping down.
