Griffey Missed PH Opportunity … Why???
According to the Tacoma News Tribune, Ken Griffey, Jr. missed an opportunity to enter an unspecified Mariners game last week as a pinch hitter. The reason? He was asleep in the clubhouse. “He was asleep in the clubhouse,” one unnamed player told the Tribune. “He’d gone back about the fifth inning to get a jacket and didn’t come back. I went back in about the seventh inning — and he was in his chair, sound asleep.” Another unnamed player confirmed the report, but said that Griffey was sleeping because he doesn’t sleep well at night. “He doesn’t sleep well at night, he’s away from his family, he’s comfortable in the clubhouse,” the player said. “They could have awakened him.”
