    Griffey changes number

    Not a big story, but interesting. Another marketing deal. I'm sure the replica jersey's will be hitting stores soon.

    Griffey changes number

    Enquirer staff reports


    Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. will wear a new number next season, the Reds announced Friday.

    In honor of his three children - Trey, Taryn and Tevin - Griffey wil wear No. 3. He previously wore No. 30 for the Reds, the same number his father, Ken Griffey Sr., wore in Cincinnati.

    Griffey wore No. 24 when he played for Seattle.

    Also today, the Reds announced that group tickets go on sale Monday. Call (513) 765-7600 for more information.

    Group ticket sales do not include Opening Day. Single-game tickets to regular-season Reds games, including Opening Day, will go on sale Feb. 18.

      Hopefully it will bring him some good luck in the form of 150 games played this season.

      Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

      Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

              Did you read the article? Apparently not.

                It says why in the original post. Read more carefully.

                    Yes, he's still on the Reds. Three is kinda a boring number. He woulda been better off picking 20 because each of his kids' names starts with T and it is the 20th letter of the alphabet. Maybe that's goin too deep though.

                      Probably. :y4:

                      Actually, a guy by the name of Babe Ruth wore #3. It's a pretty historic number.

                        No its not too deep at all. Alternatively however, he should have picked 3.14 because that represents pie...and Im sure Griffey likes pie...plus math is cool.

                            Griffey is completely opposite of Ruth

                            Ruth=Fat Griffey=Skinny
                            Ruth=Slow Griffey=Fast
                            Ruth's D= Pathetic Griffey's D= Great

                              Ruth was excellent defensively. He had a cannon for an arm and covered a good amount of ground.
