1977: Eight Year Old Ken Griffey Jr Becomes Youngest Ever To Hit MLB Home Run

1977: Eight Year Old Ken Griffey Jr Becomes Youngest Ever To Hit MLB Home Run

    I know this is tongue in cheek BUT I got to watch Junior hit a couple of dingers in the ‘band box’ as a Mariner and later on one more at RFK stadium. That ‘child’ could sure swing that bit of lumber 😉

    I got to play against him in High School…dude was genetically gifted. He could stroke it then, no matter who is Dad was. He never looked like he was juicing either, unless he did it at 16 and 17 too!
