Griffey To Kids: Screw You : Ken Griffey Jr's picky about who will call his 500th home run according to article The Cincinnati Post. "Everyone involved took pains to emphasize that the request was no reflection on Stewart, but rather a tribute to how much Brennaman and Nuxhall have meant to Griffey since he listened to the duo in his childhood." -- No word on if Griffey would have ever developed that bond with the sportscasters in the first place if the players in that day bothered themselves with designating who should call what plays. He's basically saying to kids: "Too bad if you wanted to grow up with a sportscaster of your own. I'm more important." Screw Griffey. What a prick.
