Ken Griffey is returning to Seattle for the first time in 8 years as the Cincinnati Reds take on the Mariners in a weekend inter league series. I believe that this is the first time that Griffey has played in Seattle as a member of a different team (I think he missed the 2001 All Star game because of injuries). Alex Rodriguez and Randy Johnson have returned with other teams. Randy Johnson got a warm greeting when he first returned with the Diamondbacks, but A-Rod continues to be booed no matter what team he plays for. Since Griffey's emergence as a Mariner is believed to have saved Seattle major league baseball, he is expected to get mostly cheers as time has a way of healing old wounds.
