Morrissey Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3917214 Sources: Griffey chooses Mariners By Jerry Crasnick ESPN.com Ken Griffey Jr. is returning to Seattle. The future Hall of Famer informed the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday that he's returning to the city where he carved out a Hall of Fame career as a perennial All-Star in the 1990s. Two baseball sources said that Griffey made his decision after two days of debating between Atlanta, which is close to his home in Orlando, Fla., and Seattle, where he's been a fan favorite since breaking in with the Mariners as a 19-year-old phenom in 1989.

AdropOFvenom Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Rough Offseason for Atlanta.....losing Griffey is no big loss, but man, after the Furcal fiasco and not getting Burnett, I'm sure that's the last thing their fanbase wanted was to be spurned by another player.
