Griffey taken out of game due to cramping
mlb gameday says Griffey left game in 6th inning due to injured leg...I know nothing else though...looking into it.
15 innings of CF may have got him already. |

Re: Griffey hurt according to gameday
Looks like nothing too bad at least.

Shame that that's how his hitting streak had to come to an end.

Re: Griffey taken out of game due to cramping
his legs aren't going to last long playing CF ... he has tried to protect them by how he played RF this year for the Reds, and took a lot of flak for it. However, he can't play CF for the Sox that way, he has to chase everything.

i agree and wasn't surprised he came out. he made a great diving catch on a short pop up to center early in the game. later on a ball hit to left center he was unable to cut it off. to be fair KC has huge power alleys but he didn't stand a chance on it. what i've heard is the sox plan on using him some in CF, RF, 1B and DH.

Re: Griffey taken out of game due to cramping
I'm 37 and have continuing nagging back issues. I work out and could play a mlb game, but not every night in that kind of heat and CF. Now I'm not KGJ, but I'm just saying the body does weird things when you get older. It really sucks, but I think they are asking a lot from him. At least it's just 2 months and if it works how cool for him to get to the WS playing CF. I'd say this is his one and last chance for this to happen.
I hope it does.
