From Dayton Daily News: Telling it as (like) it is
Ken Griffey Jr. was not in Monday's lineup and he saw 9-year-old Darren Baker standing in the clubhouse.Ha ha. At least one Baker isn't afraid of saying how it is.
"Why am I not playing tonight, Darren?" asked Griffey.
"Because you can't hit lefthanders," said Darren, son of manager Dusty Baker. "And you're old."
But...didn't he hit the walk-off homer? Of course, I had a chuckle reading this... LOL!
Yeah, Griffey hit a walk-off homer last night and off of a left hander too. Maybe the words of a 9 year old got him fired up.
LOL, never ask a young kid a question that you don't want the truth from.
