Griffey Jr./Byron

Jr. gave a great speech at HOF induction and said something about Barry's brother Byron showing him around when he started at high school. Nice shout out.

Junior and the Larkin family have always been close. I thought he gave a great speech at the HOF yesterday. When Grif was in his prime, he was so fun to watch. That 95 AL playoff run was incredible! As a Reds fan, it is easy to forget how awesome he was before the injuries.

Incredible to know that the Reds are still on the hook for paying Jr $3.59MM every year until 2025!

No wonder the price of Frosty Malts went up!

That may be true generally, and I'm sure Byron was nice to him in HS (because he's a great guy), but Byron isn't exactly a Jr fan -- because Jr became a first class asshat.

The saving grace is that in 2025 it will look like chump change.
