Although this may be sort of a marketing ploy to make fans somewhat happy after a disastrous season in 2008, the Mariners need to make a statement. Whether the return of Griffey out West is a just fool hearted attempt to relive history or add a piece that may help the organization, it's good thing that he's returning to where he had his most success and got to build up a legendary career.
As a baseball fan in general, I'm happy to have read the news.
