Even though I didn't consider Griffey as my favorite player when I was a kid, in retrospect he probably was. Can't think of anyone more enjoyable to watch when he was in his prime. I remember going to a Mariners game in Tampa where he hit a piss rod off the batter's eye in centerfield for a home run. Ball left his bat and hit the plexiglass window in about a Planck unit of time. Damn impressive for the couple dozen of us there to witness it.

I'd give him something for coming back from this and becoming an All-Star once again. Deserved a better career.

what might have never been
Contrary to what people might imagine, not everything was easy for Ken Griffey Jr. growing up. The eldest son in a well-known, well-to-do family, talented enough to be picked first in baseball's amateur draft, he still had the same problems experienced by other teenagers.

"It seemed like my father and I were always fighting," Griffey said. "I know a lot of kids go through that with their families, but it was hard for me. You see, I'm real stubborn."

The problems increased when he became a professional athlete while still a teenager, away from home for the first time. Missed curfews. A conflict that involved one kid hurling a racial slur at him and another kid, he said, looking for him with a gun.

He has since become perhaps the brightest, most exciting player in baseball. But at age 17, all he felt was hurt and confusion.

"It seemed like everyone was yelling at me in baseball, then I came home and everyone was yelling at me there," Griffey recalled. "I got depressed. I got angry. I didn't want to live."

So he took a step that too many take. He tried to take his life.

In January 1988, Junior swallowed 277 aspirin, by his own count, and wound up in intensive care in Providence Hospital in Mount Airy, Ohio.

He thought about killing himself a couple of times, he said, "with my father's gun or something."

"The aspirin thing was the only time I acted," he said. "It was such a dumb thing."

The story emerged during a recent wide-ranging interview, in which Griffey spoke about some of the ups and downs of his teenage years. He agreed to make it public in the hope it might dissuade someone else from seeing suicide as a solution.

"Don't ever try to commit suicide," Griffey said he wants to tell kids. "I am living proof how stupid it is."

I saw that article from '92 on twitter last night; pretty incredible. Glad Jr failed at least once at something
