When he visited Cooper- stown in late May for a mini- orientation, Griffey chose not to take the customary intro- ductory tour of the Hall that’s become sort of a tradition in recent years. He did attend a series of brief meetings with Hall of Fame staff at a separate location in the village and said he wanted his first walk through the front doors of the stately building on Main Street to be with his kids. “I wanted to share the moment with them,” Griffey said. “It was important for me to be able to do it with them and not just by myself. I just felt that I wanted to be a member of the Hall of Fame to walk in there.” Induction day promises to be an extremely emotional moment for Griffey because his mom, Birdie, and father, former Cincinnati Reds star Ken Sr., File/The Associated Press both cancer survivors and inte- Seattle outfielder Ken Griffey Jr., left, will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday along with former New gral to his rise to stardom, also York Mets catcher Mike Piazza. will be part of the celebration.
