On this date in 1989, Ken Griffey Jr. hits his first major league home run at the Kingdome in the Mariners 6-5 win over the White Sox.
"We love Ken Griffey Jr. because he is everything we would like to be. He's young, he's good looking, he's got the best smile in the world, and he's a heroic athlete. He is a shot in the arm for baseball. He is what this game needs right now. He is creating excitement and making headlines just by his presence. There hasn't been anyone like that since.....Reggie Jackson." - Reggie Jackson
