Several board members have asked me to do a Q&A with Ken Griffey Sr. Ken is a GREAT interview and has some great baseball stories. (His Rickey Henderson stories are my personal faves)
Please submit your questions on this thread. I will pick roughly 10 to ask him within the next week to ten days and will post his replies.
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...
Ask him if he has any Pedro Borbon stories. I've heard some from other ex-Reds and they are hilarious.
Like the time he left his dog in his apartment on a road trip to New York and was evicted when he returned? A friend was supposed to be watching the dog, but took the money that Borbon left him, dumped a 25 lb bag of food in the floor and left. The apartment was a shambles. Borbon is a funny and very unconventional character, and is still, a little bit scary.Originally Posted by Centralchamps05
would you ever be interested in taking the coaching job for the reds if it ever came availible?
do you think pete deserves to be in the hall?
How difficult is it to coach or manage your son at the ML level?
What is your favorite memory as a baseball player? As a Cincinnati Red?
Was it you that helped Griffey Jr. out of his slump early on last season or was it that incredible analysis Harold Reynolds had on his swing from Baseball Tonight?

That was good analysis by HR, wasn't it!?

It's been 30 years this year, so could you finally give a solid answer to the question that many of us still wonder...did you ask out of the lineup on the last day of 1976 with the batting title on the line, or were you kept out of the lineup by Sparky Anderson?
Please no Pete Rose and the HOF questions. Would he rather manage or work the front office.
If a guy goes 4 for 4, or 4 for 5 the last game of the season, he deserves the batting title. He won it out right.

I would like to ask Sr. if he knew 4 years ago, what he knows now about Jr.'s injuries, would he have suggested to Jr. to move to first base full time. If Jr. would have moved to 1st four years ago, he would still have a chance at the all time home run record, and would not have two bolts in his hamstring.
