Griffey tugs Seattle’s heart strings before heading out of town

Ken Griffey jr. said this during an interview aired on FSN tonight in Seattle:
Would I [come back]? Yeah. For the simple reason that this is the place where I grew up. And I think I owe it to the people of Seattle and to myself to retire as a Mariner.
Holy Sh*t!
So Mr. Bavasi, you want a little more respect from your home town fans? Make it happen… just make it happen.
