Future Hall of Famer, Ken Griffey Jr visited the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse this morning. He and his sons Trey and Tevin were in the clubhouse on the way to his daughter Taryn's basketball tournament in Mason.
Griffey is in good shape albeit a few pounds heavier.
Trey is two inches taller. He graduates from Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando on June 2, then gets on a plane to Tucson, Arizona where he has a scholarship to play wide receiver for the University of Arizona.
"You should see the training table," Griffey Jr. said. "It made me want to enroll as a student."
Griffey Jr is a special consultant to the Seattle Mariners while the Reds still owe him money on his contract signed in 2000 a large portion of which was deferred.
Griffey retired in May 2010 after a return to the Mariners.
"Their Double A team is loaded," Griffey said. "They have three pitchers that throw 97 plus."
