This fan was heckling Griffey at a Dodger game. Griffey started to notice the guy, and said a few things back to the guy, calling him fat and saying he couldn't touch the threads of his jock. The fan said a few things back to Griffey, and after the 6th, Griffey goes over to the guy with a brown paper bag, not leaving until he opens it. Once he opens it, everyone starts laughing, as it's literally Griffey's jock strap.

 

Awesome stuff.

Not a surprise, it's kinda a little known fact that his original nickname of "The Kid" was much more about how much of a practical joker he is than it was his age (although it fit in both cases). He is one of the real good guys in the game, and obviously when you consider he is going to retire with 600 homers and double digit gold gloves and people will STILL say "what if he had stayed healthy?"....he's pretty good.

Thats hilarious, Im gonna start heckling people...besides Gavin Flloyd

They should've used a substance to give it a little character.

Griff is at .336/.446/.589/1.035 right now BTW with 7 homers and 6 doubles, as well as 23 RBI in 107 AB's, and even has 3 stolen bases, which is the most he's had since he had 6 in his first year with the Reds in 2000. He's not exactly washed up.

I really wish Griffey had gotten to stay healthy and was the one making a run at Aaron. It would have been nice to see a good guy break the record, not only for the good of the game, but also so we would have to hear about "racism" being why people don't want Bonds to break the record.

I don't hear that very often. Where've you heard that more than once or twice?

It's been all over, but most recently that stupid study that was performed. However, it all makes no sense, since Hank Aaron owns the record.

 

If this was Griffey a handful of HRs away from the record, this would be a lot better and bigger thing for baseball.

Throw Alex Rodriguez into that bunch as well. I would also say on the other side of things if lilly white Mark McGwire was within 10 of the record, he would be getting tons of grief as well. I really believe that is the reason he quit when he did... He saw the writing on the wall.

Yeah, A-Rod will definitely get a lot of support if he gets the chance to get to that point. Even with how his career has begun I don't think Pujols gets to the point of being able to break it.

I'll disagree on this one. I think the reason Mac retired when he did was that his body was breaking down after all the years of being pumped up via chemistry. His last 2 years, he had 236 and 299 at bats, respectively. He still hit about 30 home runs each year, but he couldn't stay on the field.

It is very easy to cheer for guys like him.

I love Griffey... One I was growing up, he was by far my favorite player. I remember I got a classic Marines Griffey T-Shirt Jersey. 24 forever!
