    The Mariners had a hell of a team years ago.. Griffey Jr., A.ROD, Jay Buhner, Ichiro, John Olerud, Randy Johnson, Edgar Martinez...

      True.., I never stop asking what would've been without all the injuries that cut his prime years, still I also consider the best all around player ever.., cause even though his best years were covered with injuries, he still showed his talent. Is crazy to think that his all time numbers were not even close to his 80% of capabilities.

    Griffey didn't have Jordan intensity. As much as I loved Griffey, Jordan would have never allowed himself to get fat at 35. The last five years of his career, he was fat. And there's no excuse for that, injuries or not. He was overweight and Jordan cared too much about being great. Jordan looked better at 39 than Griffey did at 35.

    Jesus Loves U. Jesus is the one true God who created us all and even know we are sinners and have sinned against him he still Loves us so much that he came in the flesh as Jesus to the Earth to die for our sins to be washed away so we could make it to Heaven. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and he is the only way to Heaven. We are doomed to Hell without Jesus cause the wages of sin is death and God is Holy and hates sin. Thru Jesus we can be saved tho. Religion has brainwashed alot people into thinking that if U jus believe in Jesus then U are saved but U have to do more than jus believe in Jesus U have to truly follow Jesus. These are things that the word of God tells us we have to do to be forgiven for our sins, saved, and make it to Heaven.
    Believe in Jesus
    Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior
    Repent from your sins
    Get baptized in the name of Jesus
    Follow Jesus
    Have a deep relationship with Jesus
    Love everybody
    Forgive others
    Obey God's commandments
    Speak the word of God to the world
    Do the Lord's will until the end
    U dont have to be perfect. God has so many commandments its 613 of them and its impossible to obey all of them all the time. Thats the whole reason Jesus came and died for our sins to be washed away. U are gonna make mistakes and God knows that. God jus wants U to repent from your sins. Repent means to change your mind so U gotta change the way U think and not want to sin, change the way U live, and change for Jesus. U are gonna struggle with certain sins your whole life but Jesus jus wants U to overcome your sins, try your hardest not to sin, obey God's commandments the best U can, and try to do everything he wants U to do. And when U do sin God jus wants U to be honest with him and admit to your sins, ask forgiveness, and ask him to help U not sin. Jesus wants U to have a deep relationship with him. He wants U to pray to him everyday, talk to him, tell him how U feel, ask him to help U with whatever U need help with, and ask him to lead U. Jesus jus wants U to follow him, learn the word of God, and learn about him. Jesus jus wants U to do his will which is to tell people about him, speak the word of God to the world, lead others to him, and help save souls. God has a plan for your life thats greater than your own plans for your life and everybody has a purpose and our true purpose in life is to walk with Jesus.
    Those who repent from their sins, follow Jesus and do his will they will go to Heaven and live in joy forever but those who dont will burn in Hell forever. Hell wasnt meant for humans it was meant for Satan and the Fallen Angels who got kicked out of Heaven with him but alot of humans choose to follow Satan instead of following Jesus. They choose to deny Jesus, live a life of sin without repenting, and not obey God's commandments. Satan is trying to control the Earth. Satan, the Fallen Angels, and Satan's followers the Illuminati which is 13 royal bloodlines who is the richest families in the world, Satanic Cults, and the Free Mason brotherhood. All these are people who have sold their soul to the Devil for fortune fame, and power. Satan is using these people to control the Governments, politics, media, news, wars, Hollywood, movies, TV, radio, drug trade, science community, and schools. And their job is to try to get U stray away from God, disobey God, sin against God, and lead U to Hell. They are trying to hide the truth about everything from U, posion your food water and medicine, keep U in poverty, and to createca One World Government where will Satan will come as the AntiChrist claiming to be Jesus and dceieve people into following him and he will try to make people take the mark of the beast 666 which will be a computer chip they will put in your forearm or your forehead and if U take it U will automatically go to Hell.
    And Satan is even controlling religion. Thats why there are so many different religions so it will confuse people but Jesus is the one true God. He is the only one who claimed to be God in the flesh and lived a perfect life without sin, preached nothing but Love, performed miracles healing the sick and raising people from the dead, said he knew were he was going whe he died and thats to Heaven, and was resurrected from the dead and many people witnessed him alive days after he had been killed. And even Christianity is doing things wrong. It has all these different religions inside one religion alll the different demonations like Baptist, Methodist, Penecostal, and others and they are all making their own interpretations if the Bible when God's word is simple and easy to understand but they are jus going off their own beliefs instead going exactly off the word of God. The Romans started Christianity and took several books out the Original Hebrew Bible but the King Janes Bible has everything but those 6 books that were taken out. Most churches have preachers that are false prophets who arent speaking the full truth of the Bible they are preaching false doctrines and they are preaching them to make U feel good, to make money, to get fame, or cause they jus scared to speak the full truth or they jus dont know the full truth.
    And U dont have to go to church. Jesus never commanded us to go to church. Jesus set his church up on a rock with his disciples so us the followers of Jesus is the real church not a building. The church buildings are jus places we can go to praise God, have a fellowship with others, and learn the word of God but U can do that anywhere anytime. The only reason chur hes were created is cause before Jesus came to the Earth God had Moses build a tabernacle which is a church for the Israelites to come be in the presence of God cause this is before we had the grace from God thru Jesus so back then U had to be a real loyal follower of God like Moses to be in the presence of God and most people back then were too wicked to be in presence of God. So God made it a commandment for his people to go to church to be in his presence and the high priest would sacrifice an animal yearly for their sins but when Jesus came to the Earth and died and resurrected we can now be in the presence of God anywhere anytime thru Jesus.
    Jesus Loves U more than anybody could ever Love U. He knows everything about U. Jesus is always there for U, he is always wit U, and God will never abandon U. Jesus can help U with anything. Jesus will save U, change, heal U, set U free, protect U, help U thru anything, and bless U.
    If U believe in Jesus then that means U believe in his word and his word tells us to repent from our sins, follow him, and do his will to be saved. And he said that our faith is dead without works so U show Jesus U Love him with your actions. Dont follow the world follow Jesus.

    I hate baseball but I bought some of his shoes and still have them in my closet. I played basketball and folks couldn't believe I was wearing a baseball players shoe. I must say your shoes to me were comfortable and when I heard you talk on sports center I liked your character. I didn't know the team you played for or your position.
