If you hit .200 and you win or .300 and you win, it's all the same. Just so you win.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
Hard work doesn't start during the game. Hard work starts the night before.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I've always wanted to be on a winning team, be competitive and have something to shoot for in October. It's never been a money situation.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I just mind my business and do what I have to do to get ready for the baseball season.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
Father and son games - that was the best day. We'd be dressed at 6 o'clock in the morning. The game would be at 7 o'clock at night... And we'd play at, like, 5.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I may not hit 50, 40 or 30 home runs, but I can do the little things like moving runners over that don't show up in the box score.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
There's certain people that you owe it to, for the things they've done for you.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
Anybody can be a dad. I just want to be a good parent. I want to be a dad that my kids can talk to. I want to have a relationship with them.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
My dad wasn't a power hitter, and I didn't think I'd be a power hitter because the person I wanted to be like was him, and he was the one that taught me to play the game.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
You play the game a certain way, and people think your personality off the field should be just as electrifying. That's not the case.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I'm really not comfortable doing interviews in a group, in press conferences. One-on-one, I'm all right, but those press conferences at the All-Star Game, I just don't... I feel better when I'm by myself.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
We teach our kids to be fair and things like that and if you make a mistake you apologize for it.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
Athletes are going to tease each other. Football players want to be baseball players. Baseball players want to be football players. Basketball players want to be baseball players, and vice versa.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
That's the best thing about playing defense. I get to see somebody else but myself get mad.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I can't help it if I make things look easy that some people think are difficult.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
It seemed like my father and I were always fighting. I know a lot of kids go through that with their families, but it was hard for me.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I get a little tired of people telling me what might have been. I think I've done OK. I don't dwell on what might have been.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I got to play with my dad. I got to go to work with him. That's the biggest thing that ever happened to me other than the days my kids were born. That's bigger than any record I'll ever set.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I'm not some person who wants to be treated as a superstar and won't go out and help the team.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
It doesn't bother me that I didn't get all the recognition. It really doesn't. I tried to keep things as honest as possible. People will either appreciate it over the years or they won't.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
My dad hit 152 home runs and that's the person I wanted to be like. My hero growing up.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
No one is perfect. Your ERA is not zero. You're not going to have 30 wins. And your batting average isn't going to be 1.000. So you don't have the right to verbally talk out about somebody. Look at yourself. Did you do everything you could do? Did you start your day off right? Are you perfect?
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I grew up in baseball, so I know how hard it is to not have a dad around to see sporting events and stuff like that.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
When you sign on the dotted line in any sport, your body's not going to be the same.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
My mom told me to hang around with the right people. That's what I've been doing. Just taking it easy and having fun.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
I guess for me, I've always lived in the moment, so I don't allow my brain to focus too far head. I'm a fly-by-the-seat kind of person, but not really.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
A lot of my friends and guys who I have watched and grew up with and who have been at my house are Hall of Famers, and I just know them as Ozzie Smith, Eddie Murray, Kirby Puckett, Dave Winfield... I know these guys like my older brothers and uncles, the guys who took care of me.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
Most of the people that I still talk to and hang out with, to them, I'm just Ken.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
We're here for one reason, and that's to win ballgames. You're going to have your feuding in there. But that is not going to carry over to the field. That's just the way it is.
Quote by -Ken Griffey Jr.
It's not what one person does. One person is going to get to be the star of the game. But it might have been the guy who got the guy over that's the real star of the game.
