Griffey got me back into collecting during the high school/college years. He was fun to watch. His '89 UD card was 'the card' for about 10 years. I remember back in '99 PSA 10s were selling on eBay for over $2000!!! Crazy.
Fondest memory was taking the family to a Indians/Reds game a few years ago and watching him chase HR #500. He hit #499 and the kids loved it. Missed #500 in the 9th inning by about 10 feet.
