San Francisco Giants DIY iron on Seattle Mariners

This week's edition of MLB Encore Tuesdays (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET) features the Colorado Rockies DIY iron on classic Game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants DIY iron on Seattle Mariners, a chance to watch Ken Griffey Jr. in his prime and Don Mattingly's final game in pinstripes. To get you ready for it, I was going to do the definitive position of Griffey's greatest moments, but I realized that trying to rank them is impossible. Has any player had so many iconic occasions? Let's revisit them all, in chronological order, then you can figure out which one is his greatest. Why it's his greatest second: Biologists believe love is a biological construct, since all human cultures show the capacity for this. Some scientists also believe love at first sight is possible, as our brains release oxytocin and other hormones, creating a feeling of euphoria and enjoyment to form an instant bond. When Griffey stepped into the batter's box at the Kingdome for the first time in his career, most of the 33,866 enthusiasts in attendance had never seen him play, at least in person. We had read about his exploits in the minors and in spring training, and we watched him on television during the Mariners' season-opening road trip. He had gone 2-for-19 in those five games, however, and got yet to hit a home run. In his first home game, the 1st pitch he saw from Chicago's Eric King was a fastball. The 19-year-old kid swung and lined the ball over the wall Detroit Tigers DIY iron on in left field. Look at the smile as he heads to the dugout. For us Mariners fans, it was an instantaneous hit of oxytocin. Why it's his finest moment: It's not just how far Griffey runs. It's not just the perfectly timed leap at the wall structure, tearing a hole in the padding in the process. It's not just the way he holds up his glove in exultation or the joy in his face. It isn't just Barfield's stunned reaction or the high-fives with teammates. It's all of that. This play is the young Griffey with his future ahead of him, a speck in time made possible by precise circumstances. This play could only happen at the aged Yankee Stadium, with the deepest left-center power alleys in the majors; it could just happen with two outs, allowing Griffey to run in and celebrate; it might only happen when you're young and still surprised by your own abilities. You're 20 years old forever. This perform is everything.
