Back to Back homers Dad and son is one of the best moments in baseball

With baseball fading from pop culture...it's impossible for young kids to appreciate how important and cool Ken Griffey Jr was in the 90s. Amongst my group of fans he was as popular as Michael Jordan.

The Kid...No steroids...Legend

My favorite player all-time. And I remember when he wore his cap backwards everybody said he was "He's disrespecting the game".Now EVERYONE wears their cap backwards.

The back to back Homer's with his dad was and always should be number 1

Ken Griffey Jr the GOAT. And his shoes are classic

Griffey Jr. got me into baseball. He was so cool. One of my favorite players of all time. There will never be another Kid.

Loved watching him with the mariners growing up. Seeing him was an experience.

I was lucky to meet the legend Jr. at his home in Orlando back in 2001. I was doing some air conditioning work and I talked to him for a little while. Nicest guy you’d ever meet. His swing was the sharpest and most natural swing I’d ever seen. No roids, just pure talent.

So underrated. If he could have stayed healthy, he could have been the greatest baseball player ever. Hit all those homeruns and did it WITHOUT steroids.

THE ONLY POWER HITTER DURING THE STEROID ERA THAT ABSOLUTELY NO ONE QUESTIONED WAS JUICING. Greatest natural swing ever! He was born to baseball! My favorite baseball player of all time. I’m from Cincinnati and I cried tears of joy when he stood up at the Reds contract signing and said I’m home. Had he not took such a pounding on the Seattle outfield concrete all those years he could’ve had the homer title. Sadly he just couldn’t stay healthy on his later years in Cincinnati. 😢

#24 Fav...Ken Griffey jr Fav... Kobe The goats

Guy takes a pitch on the outside corner and pulls it for a dinger I love it 😂

The very best batting stance ever

Strange how his approach, his stance and his swing are one of the greatest things to happen to baseball..he is one of the most overall beloved baseball players of all time. Even his opponents watched his swing like everyone else...

My favorite player of all time...Ken Griffey Jr is the man!!! Probably would have been the all time home run leader had he not battled so many injuries through his career...The Kid was special, he didn't need the juice..He was the juice.

Ken Griffey brought the smoovest swing and swag to the game

Top 3 Sports Video Game EVER: *Ken Griffey Baseball on Nintendo 64*

I’m here in 2022 just to remember how sweet of a swing and great player he was. In my opinion if it wasn’t for the injuries he received, he’d be the all time home run king.

I was 12 years old when I saw Griffey play in the Kingdome in '89. It wasn't his debut, but it was his rookie season. The environment was so electric, it surged through you and made the hair on your arms stand up. I will never forget it. We weren't only watching a rising star, it was as if we were witnessing a prodigy...a savior. Like knew this kid was going to save our baseball world from immanent doom. You see, in Seattle, our baseball team hasn't had a lot to cheer about before The Kid came along, or after. I'll take, what is a 20 year playoff drought, Alex. Fast forward to the 1995 ALDS. It all came down to that. Griffey's presence in Seattle. It wasn't just his talent...it was all of HIM. The kid helped save Seattle baseball. We will always love him for that. I still find it amazing how the experience of growing up in Seattle during his time has impacted my life. It was a great time in Seattle and baseball history.

Everyone in Washington state still remembers and loves Jr. We always will.

I have never been a baseball fan and never will be but I could watch him swing a bat all day! That's poetry in motion!

Perfect player

hes the reason i even watch baseball

My dad bought me a Griffey JR glove when I was 12. That was my fist time playing on a team. I'm 38 now and I still have the glove. I have played on several teams and with my kids. I think that's the only Item I've kept up with from my childhood. Griffey was one of the best. Were both lefties and I wanted to play out field because of him.

Back to back home runs with your dad has to be the most wholesome and greatest moment in baseball ever. Second only would be Kirk Gibson I think.

The Kid made baseball cool again. He single handed created the backwards hat thing for white America.

My idol growing up, played center field just like him and had his glove. How many kids will ever get to hit a home run back to back with their fathers.

The reason why I got into baseball ⚾️ as a kid, this man drew in a generation of millennials into the sport

I remember all of those moments. Some I even saw in Seattle. The greatest player Seattle ever had. I saw him score on Edgars double to beat the Yankees. People were hugging and kissing each other. Fireworks in the Kingdome....I still cry .

Wow!! What an amazing father- son bonding moment.

This man is a Seattle icon and one of the best to play this game. He also did this without cheating and while always being a man of great character. I grew up watching this man exhibit near supernatural abilities in the old Kingdome and I'll always have those awesome memories of The Kid.

🔥

Ballers like Kenny represent why there needs to be more African Americans in baseball. Running a triple from 1st heading home on a double base hit. *THATS SPEED*

Griffey and Ichiro are my 2 favorites.

The GOAT

We will never forget that swing.

Griffey Jr is the true hero of baseball of the past 30 years

Legend. Should've been a Unanimous Hall of Famer

You will never see this again dad and son each home runs 1 2 in one game⚾⚾

Can argue where he is on all-time list. But there is no doubt he is my favorite player ever. I was in little league when jr was tearing up the big leagues. I wore 24 because of him. Great times

As a lifelong Mariners fan, the greatness of Ken Griffey Jr didn't equate to winning... When we traded him before the 2000 season, our chances of winning increases greatly... Our best franchise season's were 2000 and 2001... Mariners were better without him! I wish the Mariners would win a World Series!

Sr and Jr going back to back isn't shown enough. You will probably never see that again in Baseball

The catch in Tiger Stadium was the most amazing and crazy of his career in my opinion. The one that get him injured his wrist was crazy too but This is a great list, no doubt.

Griffey was BIGGER THAN LIFE in the early 90s.

A healthy Griffey would’ve easily had 800 hr

The kid made me pick up a bat and ball and Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey for N64 one of my favorite athletes of all time.

It’s amazing how he extends his arms without his swing being long or loopy.

Griffey is the HR King to me. Injuries held him back.

Swing GOAT! 🙏🏿🐐

The few chops across the plate while he’s settling in the box are so smooth and satisfying to watch

Junior has always been the source of pure joy, which is hard to come by in the modern time.

The Kid!!! Jr was special

I grew up in Seattle and was lucky enough to see so many of his great plays in person at the dome. To me that was baseballs golden age

Nobody can deny what a pure, genuine talent Ken Griffey Jr was. He was born to be a Hall of Fame baseball player.

Best baseball player of all time

His name instantly reminds me of collecting baseball cards. Back before the internet and everyone being connected when you got cards from random relatives, family friends, and stuff like garage sales hoping for cards worth something. Find some old beckett to check prices. Good times

The best player of the 90's

Born in 87. 90s kid. For many it was Jordan, but for me it was this guy. Played the right way and always had fun. Him rounding the bases to beat the Yankees in 95 and then getting mobbed with that smile on his face at the bottom of the pile is the reason we play and watch baseball.

That’s great camerawork at 3:21.

the 90's were beautiful. ken griffey jr forever.

Oh, that swing is a beauty.

That man had a effortless swing

Him and Frank Thomas- best swingz in baseball

For a 2020 translation, Griffey Jr was the Steph Curry of baseball. He father was a popular player in the league but never elite. Ken Jr however, just did everything better then everyone else. The better swing, the best fielding, the best attitude, and honestly was just an all around likable guy. And he did it all with class, and humility and grace. The perfect ball player really.

Hitting back to back homers with his father has to be one of the greatest moments in sports history

Such an exciting player to watch. Unbelievably talented, gave it his all, and delivered for his teams.

Finally a positive video. Griffey is my favorite player ever

I'm so glad my dad took me to a handful of Mariners home games growing up. To see Griffey hit those homers is such a vivid memory. It's not like the mcwires/Sosa's of the 90s. He wasn't some roided out monster but he would hit bombs like it was effortless.

The sweetest swing in MLB history

I SWEAR THAT SWING AT 2:22 IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GRIFFEY'S SWING AND FOLLOW THROUGH, ESPECIALLY THAT SAVAGE BAT DROP....

My favorite player by far. I tried batting left handed so much because I wanted my swing to be that smooth. Never happened lol

best swings ever JR's uppercut swing & Straw's high knee swing

Yo having your dad on your mlb team must have been FUN! like a dude says whos pitchin tonight, and KGJ says "My Dad."

600 + home runs no steroids. My pleasure to watch both his father and him play ball.

I never knew he played with his Dad. Then both hit home runs. Thats crazy.

The spider man catch is the greatest catch I have ever seen.

Had his shoes back in the day super dope

When i had the 64 game system this ken griffey jr was my favorite game yes im old lol😂

My Griffey moment is an odd one. My brother and I went to the 163rd game between the White Sox and Twins in 2008, and Griffey had the defensive play of the game. He threw out Michael Cuddyer on a sac fly attempt. I didn't get to see Griffey much in person, but this was his most memorable play for me.

Top five all time homerun robbery at #4.

Grew up in Orlando where he and his family lived. Dude shopped at Sports Authority and went to his kids games etc., best swing in the history of the game.

I'm not sure there's anything better then your dad going yard infront of you. Then you going yard too. That's what's legends are made of

As a kid, Ken Griffey Jr was always my Fav player!

love Griffey Jr.

Best all-around player to ever lace 'em up.

People talk about his swing and hitting but his fielding ability was amazing. He had some spectacular catches and robberies you have ever seen

Him and Barry Bonds have the greatest swings in MLB history!!!!!!!

That swing though👌🏽perfection at it’s best always will be my goat no debating over here

What a legend man

I'll never forget being a kid in Seattle watching Game 5 on TV - "the Double" and the Kid getting dogpiled at home with that trademark brilliant smile - oh the days of our youth.

The reason why i played baseball growing up. Those were different times.

As a Yankee fan I respect and love him even more that he never joined them because they wouldn’t let him step the field as a young kid

Every at bat, I was glued to the tv, or quiet in my seat at the Dome.

Always great to see how much joy he had in playing the game

Awesome! 💘 the Griffey's

Prettiest swing ever

That swing is so clean. In my opinion the absolute best swing ever.

Thank you sports center we needed this the Kid is the Goat

My favorite player when I was young, he wore my favorite number too. So I had to get his shoes in jr high. My favorite moment is when he fell asleep in the dugout lol, he's a legend
