What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Ken Griffey Jr., son of former pro ball player Ken Griffey Sr., has baseball in his blood. From his early years hanging out at Yankee Stadium with his father through his high school days as a baseball star, Ken Jr. was destined to bring greatness to whatever team he played for. And as a member of the Seattle Mariners since 1989, he has fulfilled his destiny by helping shape his team into division champs. But what fans love best is that through it all, Ken Griffey Jr. has worn his famous smile–the smile that says “I love baseball!”
