Ken Griffey Jr. "Hit It Here" Nike Commercial

[@esya1987]

I hope the Mariners win this year. Griffey deserves a world series

[@nerrad127]

griffey is the greatest most purest homerun hitter ever. hes got the greatest swing of all time

[@Howiej23]

classic commercial. Jr. would have easily been the home run king, and even the best player ever had he not been injured so many times late in his career. A perennial All-Star selection and Gold Glover, Ken Griffey Jr. will no doubt be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Jr. was my favorite player ever, and I'm sad to see him go, but ever has to retire someday.

[@KwNJn1]

I'm a braves fan and have always been a fan of Jr in the 90's when he started his career in a mariners uniform. I was a little bummed out at first that Jr decided to sign with the Mariners instead of the braves, but i'm glad that he did. Cuz when I see Jr I see a mariner. It would be weird seeing him in any uniform other then the mariners.

[@tshrimp88]

I loved this commercial! I can't believe someone found it.

[@926giants]

if you had a chance to watch this guy play through 1990 to 2000 you got the chance to see one hell of a baseball player. maybe the best to ever step on the field. i think everybody knows if he would have stayed healthy he would have been the guy on top of the HR charts. i know who i am going to tell my kids about and its barry bonds.

[@lingizzle]

i am so happy to see junior come home go mariners

[@Antrizzle2009]

@newhardy101fyi I had the opportunity to meet Griffey as well and he was the nicest guy. He was with his family so me and my buddy didn't want to bother him too much but he said there and talked to us for 15 minutes or so. That was at NBA city at Universal Studios in Florida. Definately made my vacation!

[@WalletBoy35]

I'm not a Mariners fan. Heck, I'm not even a big baseball fan, but I am glad to see that Junior is back in Seattle where it all started.

[@genius179]

also be relieved that you spent time with yours. Some people don't and I am lucky to continue to spend time with mine

[@Derek51386]

Wow that brings me back..who remembers the "My Oh My! That Ball is BELTED..." god I love it. Mid 90's Team was insane!

[@RunningToRecovery]

The only time I got to see JR in person was at the Doc Gooden No hitter at Yankee Stadium as a kid

[@godawgs06]

Ah, the heyday of Mariner's baseball... Cool seeing all the Seattle icons in that commercial btw.

[@scrum7]

gotta love griffey... an all-time great player and person

[@rig48]

man he was every young baseball fans idol....and i was a yankee fan.

[@rayders56]

Right fielder's just chillaxin lol

[@Protains]

my oh my! hahaha griffeys got the swaggg

[@ThatCincyBoy]

Thats our boy! Go Griff!

[@genius179]

that is a great memory man. I hope you guys had a great relationship

[@rkc5150]

@fasteddie36 it was fun to watch games there! jr was the best hitter / player of our time, without a doubt, and there is no way he did steroids. he was a natural.

[@eid2u4emit]

If it wasn't for injuries Griffey would have well over 700 homeruns and over 3000 hits with probably atleast 2 more gold gloves, he currently has 10. Making him my favorite player and in my opinion one of the best of all time, atleast top 10 maybe top 5.

[@cne08]

Seattle will have an exciting outfield with Jr & Ichiro.

[@LoveStonedJosh]

Griffey truly did it without steroids and he should be considered the greatest since the Babe. The end. He's money when playing for Seattle.

[@SubjektRapture]

hes the cleanest modern day hitter no doubt

[@dmiller1920]

he definitely does deserve it.. imagine had he not been injured for those seasons we wouldn't be talking about Bonds it would be all about Griffey and his pursuit of possibly 800

[@judgejgamertag]

Welcome Home Junior!! Seattle M's 2009!!

[@FLefty18]

That's crazy!! I've been to all those places.. The Elephant Car Was, Dick's (after a night of drinking, best burgers!!) , Pike's Market of course. I want to move back to Seattle

[@choppytooth]

its all good now. we got our Sounders

[@naamidei]

congrats on 600 jr

[@skatchmo]

@ChrisFlipsAlot Magic Johnson was retired when he played in the NBA All Star game, and it was the most memorable all star game in NBA history.

[@footballclips08]

This guy was the poster you had on the wall growing up as a kid. He was the guy you tried to copy the swing of in the mirror while playing Little League. Best damn player of a decade, WITHOUT being tagged with drug accusations.

[@nickl50]

thanks for the support. You know whats funny is the mets are my favorite NL team. Sort of weird how that works out.

[@FadeToBlack509]

Avg .284, Hr 630, RBI 1836, Hits, 2781, 13x all star, 10x gold glove award winner, 7x silver slugger winner. First Ballot HOF, KEN GRIFFEY JR.

[@obga18]

@lagunatom this is the sentiment of every kid growing up in the 90's

[@Tonio99]

how can you not like ken griffey jr?

[@seyademcileli]

hall of fame without a doubt

[@daashton]

this guy can hit the ball into a different time of day?!?!1

[@cpanthers88]

i guess this guy is the only clean home run hitter in the whole mlb. HOF 4 sure

[@tsidaS]

and still is! :D

[@masonberg]

lol this is definatly how griffey was in the kingdome, wish we still had the old him and the kingdome but hey it is worth every penny the mariners are paying him.

[@Cvidsandproductions]

Without his injuries, its safe to say that Ken would of been at the top of the leader boards for home runs

[@johnnycage435]

they need to bring those griffeys back, that dude is gonna make a fortune off those balls lol

[@MultiDevin9]

I Wish Griffey Jr. Would Have Been With The Reds In HIs Younger Years When He was a 30 homer and 100 RBI guy

[@Epic410]

@fendertender1 absolutely, no doubt about it. I think he should have just stayed in Seattle his entire career, and stayed away from the NL and the Reds. Imagine what could have been if the Mariners held on to Griffey, A-rod, got Ichiro and also had guys like Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner, Randy Johnson......probably would have won a world series in the early 2000's.

[@rocknrallsoul94rockero4]

Epic410 he pretty much left cause of his family and kid

[@JJ1NE]

just met him today at the a's game

[@MIKESOWELL]

Ken Griffey Jr now has 620 Career Home Runs

[@ColtonIverson420]

Grifey's a beast :D

[@godawgs06]

Welcome home!!!

[@KrugerBody]

Griffey is probably the most talented player ever to step on a baseball field, but imagine what his career would have been like if he'd trained and conditioned properly instead of just relying on his innate ability. He would have hit 900 home runs if he had taken training seriously. Certainly his broken wrist was a freak accident, but most of his other injuries could have been prevented. Also, this is a nike ad... Junior would have been the best even if he played shoeless.

[@danishbrothal]

griffey was the shit back then

[@Yourboyeddie]

Come back to Seattle Griffey

[@anthonybick9264]

Amazing how his 600 homer career was largely a what if....? They talk about Trout like that but he's not even to 400 home runs....Griffey really battled for years and still put up numbers

[@KimmelToe]

@timmyj114 was a 40+ 100+ with a glove. some people are clueless on how good players are and were

[@bradleypk]

Best looking swing of all time. Too bad he's had health problems in his 30's. He could have been the greatest ever. Damn turf

[@GoggleMan25]

u got tht right

[@jaemac123]

G.O.A.T!

[@xMikeDezzyx421]

Hit it here Jr!

[@realBLAQLIGHT]

Yeah, loading your hands will throw your whole swing off. Swinging is more about the torque and drive of your body, your hands just go with the flow.

[@fudgepaker]

1st ballot hall of famer!!

[@kelgs13]

best player in modern times. No steroids, Could you imagine his stats if he did use the juice.

[@skatchmo]

Vote For Griffey!!! I'm voting for Griffey for the all star game, as well as a write in for the home run derby. Go to MLB.com and vote for Griffey in the all star game and home run derby. You can vote 25 times for each from each e-mail address you have. I'm voting hundreds, if not thousands of times, but he needs more. Lets see Griffey one more time.

[@TheSpiderTre]

@Aceman923 amen. if we had an everyday healthy Junior, plus a decent pitching staff, we woulda been division contenders through out the 2000's other than battling Pittsburgh for last place every year.

[@lagunatom]

Baseball would die for me if I ever found out he did steroids. Him and Cal Ripken meant so much to me growing up...

[@Yourboyeddie]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee's baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!

[@nymetsfan9121]

you got it exactly on the dot if he didnt have those bad injury proned seasons he would have pass bonds and honestly id rather have griffy as home run king then bonds

[@douggoud]

that was a funny one, and thank god he got out og cincinnatte, he would have never really got anywhaere there, he hasnt won a world series ring yet has he, well he has a chance now, i hope he gets one

[@shina205]

かっこよすぎる

[@666Raiderpride]

@westsidenasfan you mean like how they are now? im pissed too, i still watch em though

[@hooperX101]

wish he coulda been the HR king

[@NoCaRAAY]

Anyone know where i can find the clip of griffey scoring in game 5 of the 1995 ALDS?

[@GoGriffey3]

sweet

[@uc95nu51]

i was his supplier back in the day.

[@jefetiger]

hey Junior!

[@Ballplayer300th]

Hell yea. Go Griffey!!! Wait What? nvm.. but yea.. go griffey!

[@uc95nu51]

they were at my door step earlier.

[@whiteboy311kn]

not to mention if we do cut griffey...who the fuck is gonna replace him?? some rookie who struggles to hit .200. i think we have enough of those. griffey is the only bat M's fans get excited for anyway! he might not be hitting HR's, but his presence alone is worth the 1mil they're paying him

[@Endivisual]

haha this is so cute

[@bennettdarren]

So why at 58 seconds does it show the Kingdome?

[@MBarberfan4life]

it sucks because i think he would of gotten the record if he hadnt gotten hurt. he's natural, and it sucks what happened.

[@matthatcher-mays4683]

That's my house at the end

[@troyskinner23]

he got a lot of at bats that game

[@spittle8]

Brian Setzer on the guitar?

[@aespy7]

He should have stayed in Seattle!

[@ANSKY114]

the sad thing about griffey's string of injuries is that if he took steroids his body would have recouperated faster and he instead of bonds can be challenging to break aaron's record, but thats just an opinion yes he was once the face of baseball (and he killed the yankees) but he just got unlucky, but still one of the good guys in baseball

[@fendertender1]

@Fable206 if he wasnt injured he PROBABLY wouldve hit more Home runs then Hank Aaron, dont you think?

[@LAmSK8]

what Griffey shoes are these??????? I was young when i had these. Hope they relese these Griffey shoes. Hit me up if anyone knows.

[@botsysguy]

Which pixel is Griffey in?

[@nerrad127]

if he never got hurt, griffey would have like 850 hrs right now

[@Stumanji77]

For the love of God, man! Put the sign away!

[@Eltonman29]

600 baaaaaaaaaaby

[@chargersfan1111]

1st ballot HOF!!!

[@Enygma702]

A-Roid or A-Fraud I like them both

[@BasedWindex]

looks like he just made a 13th

[@Ballplayer300th]

oh man... i thought he gonna had that no hit though... but he lost it in the 7th inning with two outs..

[@ChilangaBoys]

your right bout griffey but thomas? uh he juiced

[@Fable206]

@giancarlog89 you've got to be shitting me dude...you obviously know nothing about the game of baseball if you're questioning Griffey's career...it was plagued by injuries, but in his prime, was one of the most FEARED (if not THE MOST feared) hitters in the game

[@biglalways]

Sorry, to here that.

[@scubajenjen]

Ken smeared poop on his bat and chased BJ Upton around the field with his bat, threatening to smear the poop on him. Then Evan Longoria came out and tripped Griffey and made him cry cuz the poop on his bat hit his freshly pressed uniform.

[@scottegbert7590]

like Shoeless Jackson!

[@gopflash]

coulda, shoulda, woulda won the triple crown if he stayed healthy.
