To be completely honest, from a marketing standpoint I can see Griffey going back to Seattle as a success, but Seattle really needs to move on from the Griffey hoopla (and the Sonics leaving) to bring a new age of sports to Seattle. Seattle sports is at rock bottom right now and I think the last thing they need is to back track to a name from the "glory days" which will only delay the inevitable of him leaving again and then having to find a new identity all over again. Might as well get started now.
I couldn't disagree with you more. The Kid in Seattle as the DH is the perfect fit. When he goes into the hall it will be in a Mariners hat, so why notfinish your career there. He will last a lot longer in the AL than he will in the NL. I could actually see him have an explosive season in Seattle, not so muchin Atlanta.
