{"Image ImageDescription": "FILE - In this Oct. 8, 1995, file photo, Seattle Mariners' Ken Griffey Jr. smiles from beneath a pile of teammates who mobbed him after he scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning of a baseball game against the New York Yankees in Seattle. The transcendent, once-in-a-generation athlete belonged to a little pocket of the country that never had the experience of the best athlete in their respective sport be theirs. And it's why when Griffey is all but certain to be announced as a Baseball Hall of Fame inductee next week, he'll take the entire Northwest with him to Cooperstown.
