This summer, the NIKE FREE Run+ 2 QS collection delivers the sequel to the Nike Free Australia silhouette, bringing a twist to the innovative performance series. Five Free Run+ 2 colorways represent for the running clubs, crews and individuals in New York City, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro.

Since its debut in 2004, Nike Free and natural motion technologies have redefined running footwear design. NIKE’s Sport Research Lab and the Innovation Kitchen used their findings on barefoot running to create a definitive training tool in NIKE FREE. On the FREE scale, 0.0 represents running bare foot, while 10.0 represents a typical cheap nike shoes

Natural motion was created to increase the strength of the foot and ankle and the range of motion in foot joints, improve balance, plus deliver the benefits of running barefoot to concrete and asphalt. Strategically placed flex grooves on the sole were created in line with the NSRL's biomechanical learnings.

The Nike Free sale hugs the foot with a dynamic sock-like fit, overlay upper construction with applied breathable mesh, asymmetric lacing to decrease pressure on the top of the foot and center-of-pressure heel geometry. A BRS 1000 carbon rubber outsole, Waffle pattern pistons and solid rubber reinforcement means an incredibly light, flexible, naturally neutral ride that's free of excess.

This new design mimics the anatomy of the foot and the cutaway, layered paneling represents the muscles, tendons and ligaments. Rugged reinforcement comes via a rubber toe application that increases the shoe's versatility and longevity for regular city runs in inclement conditions. Synthetic microsuede amplifies the lifestyle potential of this modern performance classic without adding bulk, and reflective lace hits increase visibility.

Embracing the urban metropolis’ found in these locations, on each of the five colorways, a speckled grey Phylite midsole talks to the surfaces of a city offering a point-of-difference from white soles easily dirtied during daily activity. Executed in the local aesthetic of each city, these aren't the usual cheap nike free shades. Deep Burgundy represents China, Pine Green captures Rio de Janeiro's grit and flair, Anthracite's starkness is quintessentially New York, Black channels Tokyo street style, while London's version of the cheap nike free run arrives in a gentlemanly Khaki.

Nike first introduced the cheap nike free shoes in 2005, bringing to life the concept of training barefoot to strengthen the feet and legs coupled with the protection and traction of a lightweight performance shoe.

“Not everyone has the luxury of a bare foot training environment like a pristine beach or a soft, grass field to experience the benefits of training barefoot. Nike Free Run allows athletes to experience these benefits in practically every environment,” said Tobie Hatfield, Innovation Manager for the Nike Innovation Kitchen.

New for 2009 is a unique tongue construction that is engineered to reduce pressure over the top ridge of the foot, while also contributing added support by wrapping up around the medial arch.

Also new with the nike free shoes are bonded, soft, microfiber synthetic overlays inside the upper using ultra-sonic welding wherever possible creating a no-sew environment that maximizes comfort. These overlays are strategically placed to balance the fit, durability and support of the shoe with the dynamic flexibility of the foot in order to maintain the mobility and flexibility of being barefooted.

The changes to the nike free women since its introduction four years ago have been subtle yet significant to the performance of the shoe. While Nike has been working on the evolution of Nike Free, the architecture of a natural motion outsole has been adopted across a variety of performance footwear platforms including basketball, training, tennis, and with traditional running products.

“The interesting thing about nike free running shoes is that it really is for everybody,” said Andreas Harlow, Global Creative Director for Nike’s running footwear category. “We have elite athletes and average, every day athletes who use it regularly as a training device. Some would classify themselves as runners and some would consider themselves athletes of a different sport or sports who simply run as training for their sport.”

The creation of the womens nike free begins with the last which is the model around which a shoe is built. A traditional last is very flat with a pointed shape. The last for the Nike Free shoe is more contoured to emulate the shape of a bare foot. The materials and engineering that ultimately surround the last are designed to work together to continue the emulation of bare foot articulation.

Relative to the evolution of the Nike Free 3.0 Womens, Hatfield added, “We need to maintain a one-to-one ratio between the upper and the outsole, meaning that the flexibility of the outsole and the support of the upper must operate in concert – the outsole must always have the same degree of flexibility to the degree of support in the upper. One can never lead the other or the prospect of emulating bare foot running is compromised. We had evolved the outsole in the last two editions of Nike Free but the upper had not caught up until now.”

The Womens Nike Free 7.0 sits at the middle of the flexibility scale with 0.0 equating to running bare foot and a 10.0 equal to a standard running shoe such as the Nike Zoom Vomero. Nike also has a Nike Free 7.0 and the Nike Free Everyday which sits on the scale between thenike free running and the standard running shoe at 10.0.

The new nike womens free-specific upper provides just enough support while still allowing the foot to move in a natural, dynamic and barefoot-like manner. Breathable mesh across most of the upper enhances comfort and ventilation while also providing a more barefoot-like fit and feel. Overlays are strategically-placed to balance the fit, durability and support of a shoe with the dynamic flexibility of the foot.

“You could call the design of the nike free for women a process-derived-aesthetic. We always make choices about the way things look,” said Harlow. “The more honest you are with what you are doing – the processes and the goals – the more an aesthetic emerges from that and, in my opinion, the results look more compelling as a result.”

The phylite mid-sole of the Nike Free 3.0 features a Waffle outsole construction for lightweight, resilient cushioning along with enhanced proprioception, traction and durability. The mid-sole also provides enough durability to double as an outsole, dramatically reducing overall weight.

Deep, gender-specific Nike Free 5.0 sipes molded along the length and width of the mid-sole allow for barefoot-like flexibility and stability, while retaining the traction, underfoot protection and cushioning of a shoe. The Waffle outsole also encourages a more neutral and efficient toe-off.

Wider sipes, across the forefoot allow for greater engagement of the toes through propulsion for increased muscle activation and a more barefoot-like experience.

Inside the shoe, the molded sockliner mimics the curvature of the foot for a great fit, enhanced comfort and added support. Soft, durable foam inserts under the forefoot and heel provide added cushioning where needed.

The outsole is made of an abrasion-resistant, BRS 1000 carbon rubber under the crash pad enhancing the durability in this high-wear area, while strategically-placed segments of solid rubber enhance traction and durability at key wear zones.

The Nike Free 5.0 is available at retail globally, beginning May 2009.


Ken Griffey Jr. arrived at Mariners spring training as he always does, in or out of uniform: Eager to chat about his kids,griffey shoes and a magnet for just about every stray person in camp.

And, yes, wisecracking up a storm. Junior is nothing if not a Hall of Fame needler. When Felix Hernandez emerged in the clubhouse wearing white Capri pants, Griffey was merciless, much to the amusement of everyone else. And Felix, too, for that matter.

"Why'd you steal your Mama's pants?" Griffey hollered, repeating the line a couple of times for greater comic effect cheap griffeys.

One more year removed from his abrupt departure from the game in June 2010, Griffey has settled comfortably into retired life at age 42. Though, he says, he offered new Florida Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen — an old friend, like so many others in the game — his services for the upcoming year.

"I told him I'd give him 12 at-bats — 13 and we have to renegotiate. And I only want to play home games," he said. "That's when they were going after Prince (Fielder), Albert (Pujols). They had signed (Jose) Reyes, they got Mark Buehrle. And right before they signed Heath (Bell). So I called. Ozzie started laughing."

Speaking of Fielder,ken griffey shoes I asked Griffey if he tried to recruit his Orlando neighbor to the Mariners during his free agency. Griffey's answer was enlightening and shed some light on the Mariners' pursuit of Fielder.

"That's what everyone thinks because he lives right by me," Griffey said. "Nah. Prince is his own man. You can't jeopardize relationships. If he had asked me about it, I would have talked about it. My main thing with him was to maintain the same relationship we always had. I don't get into anybody's business financially.

"Jack (Zduriencik) said, 'Hey, we're pursuing him.' I said, 'OK.' He said, 'If he talks to you, you'll talk to him?' I said, 'Yeah, but I'm not going to seek him out. That's not fair to either one of us.' "

And, Griffey said, Prince never asked. What I gather from all that is that yes, the Mariners were interested in Fielder,ken griffey jr shoes and no, Fielder wasn't all that interested in them.

Griffey said he was as surprised as everyone else when Fielder signed with Detroit.

"Nothing in this game surprises you any more,king griffey shoes but I didn't think it would be Detroit," he said. "I thought it would be someplace else."

Griffey was quick with the quips as he watched the Mariners play an intrasquad game, fresh off a plane flight from Florida he shared with Danica Patrick. A steady stream of well-wishers, including former teammates, team officials and media members, wandered into the Griffey vortex.

He patiently told the story of how his son, Trey, ended up accepting a football scholarship to the University of Arizona. Griffey smirked in mock irritation when it was pointed out how ironic it was that he'll now be traveling frequently to Tucson when it was a running joke how he never took a Tucson trip with the M's in spring training.

Trey, a 6-foot-2, 190-pound wide receiver at Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando,griffey shoes 2012 was recruited heavily by Washington State. But he was so enthralled by Arizona that he committed to the Wildcats before making his final trip to Pullman.

"Like I told all the coaches, it was his choice where he wanted to go," Griffey said. "Not wanting to have him have the remorse of, 'Hey, I went here because of you, Dad.' I said, 'We've always traveled; traveling's not that big a deal. Go where you want to go to school.' He picked Arizona. I couldn't be any happier. It should be fun. He picked it without any word from me."

griffeys is already going through the recruiting blitz again with his daughter, Taryn, a standout sophomore basketball player who has drawn the notice of Washington, he said — along with every top-flight hoops school in the country. Griffey casually drops names like Pat, Geno and Vivian, referring to iconic women's coaches Pat Summitt of Tennessee, Geno Auriemma of Connecticut and Vivian Stringer of Rutgers. And no wonder — Taryn led Dr. Phillips to a state title and had a game in which she went 9 for 9 on three-pointers.

The youngest Griffey, Tevin, age 9, is still playing baseball (a left-handed thrower and right-handed hitter, a la Rickey Henderson), but Griffey believes his future lies in football like older brother Trey.

But that doesn't mean the line of Griffeys in the major leagues has halted.cheap ken griffey shoes Ken raves about the 13-year-old son of brother Craig, who played seven years in the Mariners farm system. Junior says his nephew is a right-handed pitcher who reminds him of Tom "Flash" Gordon.

Griffey is in his second year as a special consultant with the ballclub, and while some fans might scoff at what sounds like a figurehead role, Griffey has a lot to offer, manager Eric Wedge said. Wedge spent considerable time picking Griffey's brain last season, and did so even more intently during their whirlwind junket to Japan together last month.

"He gives you a different perspective," Wedge said. "It's a very interesting perspective. Obviously, he was a great player, and the way he views the game, growing up in the game, it's a whole different vantage point. That's the perspective we can gain from him."

Griffey says we'll see more of him this year than last.griffeys 2012 He plans to once again take trips to all the Mariners minor-league affiliates (often driving the bus he's dubbed "The Mad Mobile") as well as picking up the major-league team several times through the season.

"I'm mainly coming back here now to get to know the guys," he said.

Griffey won't don a uniform in camp,griffeys sneakers but he expects to offer advice and counsel to players.

"We'll have a couple of talks," he said.

Of the 2012 Mariners, king griffeys said, "I think we're going to surprise some people. We have some good kids. The first question I asked is, how'd they come in? Everyone was real surprised how good shape guys came in."

I asked if he still had the urge to pick up a bat.

"Nah. I pick up a golf club," he replied. "Every now and then I go hit, because I have kids that want me to help."

With Ken Griffey Jr. these days, it's all about the kids — his own, and the Mariners'.


Natural motion gets personal this week with the launch of the Nike Free Australia and the Nike Free. Exclusive to NIKEiD, runners can customize performance by mixing the uppers and outsoles from the two styles to create Nike Free iD Hybrids, as well as personalize color and design.

The cheap nike shoes and the cheap nike free are the latest in Nike’s popular franchise of Nike Free Run founded on the concept of natural motion.

What’s new with Nike Free?

The first nike free shoes launched in 2004. Ever since designers have refined and evolved the shoes to enhance the natural motion running experience for a variety of running levels and preferences.

The nike free women offers a unique balance of flexibility, comfort and support. Its Dynamic Fit construction wraps the arch for a glove-like fit that provides support where the runner needs it. The siping along the length and width of the midsole allows for natural motion and mimics the characteristics of barefoot running.

On a scale from a bare foot to a traditional running shoe, the nike free running shoes delivers the closest to a truly barefoot experience. It features a seamless upper made of flexible but supportive mesh and a molded sock-liner that mimics the curvature for a great fit and comfort.

Both the womens nike free and the Nike Free 3.0 feature arch siping new to this iteration of Nike Free running shoes. The trans-tarsal diagonal cuts in the midsole enhance natural motion flexibility and help increase foot strength.

Athletes get creative with NIKEiD

To celebrate the launch of Nike’s newest Nike Free 3.0 Womens, athletes like Allyson Felix (world champion US sprinter), Mo Farah (world champion UK distance runner) and Liu Xiang (world champion Chinese hurdler) have designed their own Nike Free iD shoes.

The designs are personal to the athletes, both in terms of performance and aesthetic. Felix's Womens Nike Free 7.0 is styled after her high school's colors, while Farah chose a different team spirit inspiration -- his favorite football club in the UK. Xiang built a Nike Free Run iD Hybrid combining the extra support of the Nike Free Run+ 3 upper with the barefoot ride of the Nike Free 3.0 midsole. He finished his design with colors inspired by spring.

For the month of March the Nike Free Run+ 3 and nike womens free are available exclusively online at NIKEiD and in NIKEiD studios at select Nike stores.

Is it possible to make a shoe that’s better than being barefoot? That’s the question Nike Women has answered with the nike free for women. The shoe features a second-skin fit and feel, with added cushioning, superior traction and all over flexibility inspired by the most bendable yogis.

Created for dynamic yoga and other mind-body classes typically taken barefoot, the Nike Free 3.0 is also ideal for training classes and Nike Fit workouts. It will protect the feet from whatever lives on a gym floor, while providing needed traction during a downward dog or other positions you choose to get yourself into.

A rubber outsole with a special herringbone traction pattern keeps feet secure. Deep, multi-directional flex grooves, informed by the game-changing Nike Free 5.0, enhance your full range of national motion. The split toe construction with extra traction on the big toe allows for barefoot-like gripping and helps you stay steady during the most challenging single-leg moves and balances.

Designed to be worn without socks to further the barefoot feel, the Nike Free Gym+ uses instant comfort heel pads and arch support, and has a naturally odor-absorbing lining infused with volcanic rock-derived fibers. The molded yet breathable sock liner also has a traction pattern and conforms to your foot to further reduce slippage and to add comfort.

Weighing in at just 5 oz, the Nike Free Gym’s ultra-light profile maximizes reactivity and speed. No sew and Nike Flywire construction with soft mesh upper reduces the overall weight of the shoe. A uniquely crafted arch strap lock engages the full arch when closed, giving a custom, secure fit.

Nike Free Gym + is available at www.cheapnikeshoesvip.com and is part of the Nike Free 7.0 Training Spring 2012 Collection.

This wasn't the first time the Mariners have seen a game end with Ken Griffey Jr. getting his bat on a ball.

But it was the first occasion in recent memory in which the Mariners began a winning rally because their manager flapped both his gums and arms with equal vehemence.ken griffey shoes History will note that manager Don Wakamatsu received his first major-league ejection an inning before his team rallied for three runs in the ninth for a stunning 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Wakamatsu getting tossed, on the day of his 100th career victory, seemed to ignite a Seattle lineup that had spent much of the previous eight frames looking poised to lose for the sixth consecutive time.

"In hindsight, it sparked us," said Mike Sweeney,ken griffey jr shoes who opened the ninth with a single off Toronto closer Kevin Gregg. "Wak is our captain, our leader. We told him after the game he was going to get a beer shower for getting tossed for the first time in his career."

A crowd of 20,452 at Safeco Field, which seemed to consist mostly of Blue Jays fans for the first eight innings, roared to life in the at-bats that followed. Jose Lopez added a single to right after Sweeney, followed by a huge walk to Milton Bradley with the count full that loaded the bases.

Casey Kotchman hit a ball grand-slam distance but pulled it several feet wide of the right-field foul pole.king griffey shoes But he laid off some tough pitches and worked a walk that got the Mariners within a run.

Josh Bard then tied it with a sacrifice fly to left, and Griffey, pinch-hitting for Josh Wilson, roped a 2-1 pitch down the right-field line for the game-winning single.

It was an emotional moment for Griffey, batting just .griffey shoes 183 when he came up and dogged by questions about whether he'll retire in-season. The Griffey saga has taken on a life of its own and dominated all talk surrounding a last-place team that had lost 15 of 18 coming in.

"We're probably not going to go through a two-week period like this again," Sweeney said. "Considering how hard it's been and yet we've stayed so close together."

The walkoff win was the first by the Mariners all season.cheap griffeys They had 13 such victories last year.

griffeys declined to comment and didn't stick around long after the game.

"The last couple of weeks have probably been the two toughest weeks of his career," Sweeney said. "He knew he had the backing of every guy in that clubhouse. It's no different than when he went up there in the ninth inning this afternoon. He had every single person in this clubhouse cheering for him. And I'm sure he had every single person in this city cheering for him."

The cheers were fairly muted early on.griffeys 2012 A two-run homer to left field by Jose Bautista in the fifth, off Seattle starter Jason Vargas, turned a 1-0 lead into a one-run deficit for the home side. Edwin Encarnacion then hit a sacrifice fly to left to make it 3-1 in the seventh to end the day for Vargas, and things looked bleak indeed.

But after Ichiro was caught stealing to end the eighth on a play where he looked to be safe,griffeys sneakers Wakamatsu left the dugout. His argument with second-base umpire Andy Fletcher wasn't all that dramatic, but it kept going until Wakamatsu finally got the thumb he appeared to be looking for.

Seems like that was all his team had been looking for as well.

"As a team, we've been talking about the fact that good teams make their own breaks," said Bard,cheap ken griffey shoes who had two of Seattle's four hits before the ninth — a single and a double — along with the tying sacrifice fly. "We've been kind of sitting around here waiting for something to happen."

Not this time.

"Now, they're saying I've got to go every eighth or ninth inning," Wakamatsu joked afterward. "Obviously, you see how they reacted to it."

Wakamatsu had been tossed numerous times during his minor-league career,griffey shoes 2012 but never in the majors. That fact had caused consternation among some fans, who believed he could be doing more to visibly stand up for — and even ignite — his players.

"It's a play where,ken griffey shoes 2012 you look at the reaction of Ichiro and you go out and defend him," Wakamatsu said. "The big thing that I was arguing about was that even though the ball beat him, I still thought he got his foot in there."

Instead,griffeys for sale it was the Mariners who wound up getting their foot in the door just before another game slammed shut on them. They'll need a whole lot more, from Wakamatsu, king griffeysand others, to erase the damage the past two weeks have caused to their season.

Ken Griffey Jr. will be returning to a different Mariners organization than the one he walked away from eight months ago.

And the man responsible for bringing Griffey back as a special consultant says that's just as well.

Mariners president Chuck Armstrong, who said Tuesday the hiring of Griffey for an off-field job was two years in the making, noted that an almost entirely different coaching staff is part of the transformation that has occurred since Griffey bolted into retirement last June.

Several players on the team at that time have also left as the Mariners rebuild from the ashes of yet another 100-loss season. And Armstrong says he hopes that bringing Griffey back can help show the players still here what being part of the organization is truly all about.

"He wants to tell the kids coming through our system what it means to be a Mariner," Armstrong said. "And why that's special to be a Mariner. And I can't think of anybody who can better deliver that message than Ken Griffey Jr."

Griffey is to attend part of spring training in March, after he finishes some overseas commitments. He'll also make several trips to Seattle and visit Mariners affiliates during the season.

"I'm looking forward to staying very involved with the Mariners, working with the players throughout the organization, staying involved with the community and assisting in other areas of the organization," Griffey said in a release put out by the team. "It's an exciting time and I'm appreciative of the opportunity."

Armstrong also said talks are under way to possibly have Griffey make an appearance at Safeco Field for the home opener in April.

But there remains a bit of unfinished business from Griffey's last go-round with the team that might need addressing before he embarks on his future role. Griffey has never spoken in public about the reasons he abruptly retired last June 2, driving off on a cross-country trip to his home in Orlando, Fla., without bothering to tell either manager Don Wakamatsu or general manager Jack Zduriencik.

Griffey's playing time had been cut to virtually nothing at the time, and he and Wakamatsu hadn't spoken for two weeks. Sources close to Griffey said he was furious over his treatment and that he initially suspected Wakamatsu of leaking a story to a newspaper in May about his being asleep in the clubhouse during a game.

A player told The Seattle Times last season that Griffey shared his suspicions with several veterans on the team. It wasn't until several weeks later that Griffey apparently realized Wakamatsu wasn't the leak and that — as the newspaper story said — two young players had been the sources.

But by then, Wakamatsu's already-tenuous hold on the clubhouse was spiraling out of control.

The Mariners fired Wakamatsu, pitching coach Rick Adair, bench coach Ty Van Burkleo and performance coach Steve Hecht in August. They did not renew the contract of bullpen coach John Wetteland after the season, nor did they invite third-base coach Lee Tinsley back to the major-league squad.

Armstrong said last year that Wakamatsu's firing had nothing to do with Griffey.

But it remains to be seen how fans will react to a player some perceive to have quit on the team twice: once when he helped orchestrate his trade to the Reds a decade ago, then again last June.

On Tuesday, Armstrong said that Griffey would address the media upon his arrival at camp and explain his reasons for leaving.

"He and I talked the day that he did leave," Armstrong said. "We might have wished that he did it differently. But in his mind, he did it the right way for himself and for the franchise. He claimed he was thinking about the franchise. But that's in the past, and I'd like him to address that when he comes to spring training and then I think we can put that behind us."

The Mariners were left reeling last year after the 101-loss, turmoil-filled season, then the death of Hall of Fame broadcaster Dave Niehaus in November. There's a sense that with the Mariners facing a difficult task in placating fans during what looks to be a difficult 2011 rebuilding year, bringing Griffey back could help from a community-relations standpoint.

"He's volunteered to become involved with our corporate business partners," Armstrong said. "He's volunteered to participate in any types of activities that seem like they would be good fits. We know what a generous man he is. We know what he's done even after he left Seattle as a player. I think he is so smart and just so savvy about things. And he said, 'I just want to help.' He said, 'I just want to do what you guys think would be a good fit.' "

New Mariners manager Eric Wedge said it's key for former players like Griffey, Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner and Dan Wilson to help keep today's players up to speed on the team's history.

"I want our players to understand, first and foremost, the history of baseball and have a good understanding of what's gone on before them. I think you have to respect that," Wedge said.

"But ultimately, you have the history of the Seattle Mariners, too. It's a short-term history. It's not going to be a thick book like some of these 100-years-plus organizations. So there's no reason not to understand the short-term history of Seattle and some of the things that have happened here."

And team president Armstrong said he doesn't believe history should get in the way of Griffey helping to carry the team's legacy forward.

"As far as I'm concerned, all that's behind us," he said. "I'm just happy to have him back and welcome him back home."

Roger Jongewaard doesn't want to dwell on the awkward ending to Ken Griffey Jr.'s career, which grinded to an uncomfortable halt on Wednesday.

Jongewaard prefers to think about Griffey's glorious beginnings.

It was Jongewaard, as the Mariners' scouting director, who made the recommendation in 1987 to select the high-school outfielder from Cincinnati's Moeller High School with the No. 1 overall pick.

Granted, it didn't take a baseball Einstein to recognize the burgeoning phenomenon that was Griffey. But Jongewaard had to convince skeptical M's owner George Argyros that Griffey was the right man. Argyros, it seems, was still irked about the slow progress of Jongewaard's previous year's No. 1, outfielder Patrick Lennon.

"I told him I wanted to take Junior," recalled Jongewaard, now 74 and living near San Diego, where he scouts for the Florida Marlins. "He said, 'No, there's a college pitcher from Fullerton I think is better suited for us, Mike Harkey.'

" 'No, Junior's the guy,' " Jongewaard assured Argyros.

" 'That's what you said about the last guy,' " the owner replied.

Jongewaard ultimately won that debate, and the rest is baseball history and Seattle legend.

As time passes, the napping controversy, the painfully low production numbers, the abrupt decision to pack up and head home, all the distress from Griffey's desultory 2010 partial season will fade into oblivion.

Or, at worst, it will fade to obscurity, hidden on some dark shelf in the attic, while his glittering body of work shines in the sun.

After all, does anyone downgrade Babe Ruth because he hit .181 his final year, at age 40 with the Boston Braves, feuded with management, and had teammates who refused to pitch if he played the outfield?

Does anyone mark down Willie Mays because of his stumbling final days with the Mets?

Is anyone's memory of Mike Schmidt diminished because he, like Griffey, hung on one year too many and walked away in May 1989, embarrassed by his limp .203 batting average?

Of course not. The truly great ones transcend their denouement, no matter how distressed, and are seared in our memory banks as perpetually young, vibrant and in full command of their skills.

At least Griffey went out with some symmetry: He retired 75 years to the day after Ruth did, and 23 years to the day after the Mariners called his name in the '87 draft. And his last official appearance, a fielder's choice as a pinch-hitter against Minnesota on May 31, occurred 19 years to the day after his father, Ken Griffey Sr., played his last game, also as a Mariner.

Griffey Jr. always had a certain flair, but if he left in a bit of a huff, it was in step with the hypersensitivity that permeated his career. Griffey was, for the most part, a joyous personality and an infectiously positive presence. Yet when he seethed, you knew it.

Jongewaard recalls watching Griffey for the very first time at the Connie Mack World Series in New Mexico, when even as a 16-year-old he was so dominant that pitchers routinely pitched around him. When the intentional walks became incessant, Jongewaard recalled, Griffey defiantly put his bat behind his head as the pitches were in progress.

"A lot of scouts were really upset because of that," Jongewaard said. "I thought, 'Well, that's good, because they won't take him even if they draft ahead of us.' "

Griffey's limitless potential was evident literally from day one, when he showed up at the Kingdome to take ceremonial batting practice with the Mariners shortly after the draft.

"He jumped into the cage and he was hitting more home runs than Alvin (Davis)," Jongewaard remembered. "He looked like the best hitter we had. Most kids in that situation are scared to death. He was used to being in major-league stadiums. He was completely comfortable."

It was Jongewaard who drove Griffey up to Bellingham for the start of his professional career. Jongewaard invited him to breakfast one morning.

"He said, 'I don't eat breakfast. I'm kind of a junk-food guy, Twinkies,' " recalled Jongewaard. "He had a great body, of course. I said, 'Holy cow, he doesn't even have to work at it.' "

Some believe that Griffey would ultimately pay a heavy price for a laissez-faire attitude toward fitness as his career progressed, but the fact his body broke down though all those injuries was probably more attributable to his time on the hard Kingdome turf.

The fact that Griffey's decline followed what used to be a standard timeline before the freakish extension of the prime of some players, most notably Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, merely strengthens the prevailing sense that Griffey steered clear of performance-enhancing drugs.

In his biography of Bonds, "Love Me, Hate Me," author Jeff Pearlman recounts a dinner conversation between Bonds and Griffey after the 1998 season.

As Pearlman describes it in the book, Bonds told Griffey, "As much as I've complained about McGwire and Canseco and all of the bull with steroids, I'm tired of fighting it. I turn 35 this year. I've got three or four seasons left, and I wanna get paid. I'm just gonna start using some hard-core stuff, and hopefully it won't hurt my body. Then I'll get out of the game and be done with it."

Griffey is quoted in the book as saying: "If I can't do it myself, then I'm not going to do it. When I'm retired, I want them to at least be able to say, 'There's no question in our minds that he did it the right way.' I have kids. I don't want them to think their dad's a cheater.' "

I e-mailed Pearlman and asked him if, in the course of researching the Bonds book, he became convinced that Griffey was clean.

"If you had asked me three or four years ago, I would have said yes, definitely clean," he answered. "But I don't give the 100 percent-beyond-a-doubt status to anyone anymore, including Griffey. Do I hope he was clean? Yes. Do I believe he was clean? I guess probably. But it'd be naive to be convinced about anyone. Even him."

That's a justified response in this era, though I have never found cause to question Griffey's legitimacy, nor has anyone in baseball I've ever spoken to. A Mariners teammate, Norm Charlton, recalls watching Griffey's raw power manifest itself even as a teenager, when he would come work out at Riverfront Stadium while Charlton was pitching in the Reds' organization.

"I don't even question that," Charlton said. "I wouldn't even put Junior in that category. It's a no-brainer for me."

Griffey's minor-league stay would last just 129 games before the Mariners threw away any pretense of more seasoning and put the 19-year-old Griffey where he belonged — on the major-league roster to start the 1989 season.

His penchant for dramatics was immediately shown when he doubled in his first major-league at-bat, off Dave Stewart, and homered on the first pitch he saw at the Kingdome, off Chicago's Eric King. You couldn't script that kind of stuff.

Oh, you could have scripted a better ending for Griffey, one in which he rode off into the sunset (or was carried off on his teammates' shoulders, ahem).

But that's just a temporary blot. The Junior portrait that will survive the test of time has his hat backward and a huge smile on his face. The Junior video we will replay in our mind is a Hall of Famer in his absolute prime.

Dad took me to my first Mariners game in 1986. I was 13 and the M's stunk. When we walked out through the concourse and I saw my first glimpse of the Kingdome field, I was hooked. People say the Kingdome was ugly, but at the time, I had never seen anything so beautiful.

The Mariners weren't on TV much and other than an occasional box score in the newspaper or the friendly voice of Dave Niehaus on the radio, there wasn't much reason to pay attention in Seattle. That all changed in 1989.

The Mariners had the next great player, a prodigy, the son of a major-league All-Star. They had "The Kid" and he was supposed to be great. Boy, was he ever.

For Mariner fans, it was love at first sight. The backward hat, the innocent smile, the most beautiful baseball swing I have ever seen. He hit home runs like it was easy. He played center field like he had been born to do nothing else, and when Edgar doubled down the line in '95, he raced around third and saved baseball in Seattle.

He became the most popular player in the sport, loved by thousands of fans all over the world. But as a kid growing up in the Northwest, he was more than that. He was ours. He was mine.

That's a great thing about sports, you can sit in the stands and cheer for someone along with thousands of other people, and they can still feel like they are yours. He was my favorite player. He was my baseball hero.

And last weekend I got to spend a day with him.

My brother was playing in a charity golf tournament and when he saw that Ken Griffey Jr. was going to be there, he called in a few favors and arranged to play with him. Then he arranged for me to tag along. (Surely a debt that I can never repay)

I'm almost 38 years old. I'm a father of 2 boys and well past the stage where anyone should have a sports hero. However when I walked out onto the golf course and saw him, shook his hand and introduced myself, I didn't feel 38. "Hello, I'm Ken" he said. I felt like I was 12 years old.

For the rest of the day I tagged along while he played golf. He could not have been any nicer. We hung out and joked around, talked about golf, baseball, his kids, my kids.

I bet I have watched him hit a baseball 1,000 times and now I was watching him swing a golf club from 5 feet away. I couldn't help myself: "Swung on and belted!"

After golf we went and had lunch together. Talk about surreal. I have a poster of this guy up in my room at home and now we're having French fries together (for crying out loud, I even passed him the ketchup!) After lunch we ended up just sitting and talking for about two hours. He was gracious and engaging. Outgoing and humble. He posed for a photo and signed an autograph for me. In total we spent about six hours just hanging out. I'm sure for him it was just another afternoon, but for me it was six hours I will never forget.

"Thank you for playing the right way," I told him. "Thank you for never giving me a reason to regret telling my son's you are my favorite player. Thank you for coming back to Seattle so that I could sit in the stands with them and watch you hit one out."

"I hope you know how cool I think this is?" I said.

"What did you think I would be like?" he asked. "I'm just a normal guy who happened to have a really cool job."

Maybe so. But for me and so many other Northwest baseball fans, he was a lot more. We watched him play, collected his baseball cards, wore his jersey and hoped he was as great a person as we built him up to be.

He was. And I got to pass him the ketchup.

In a spring when time hasn't always appeared kind, Ken Griffey Jr. once again found a way to make it stand still.

Griffey swung at a full-count pitch from Kip Wells in the bottom of the ninth on Friday and gave it a ride back to the days when the guy with 630 career homers could find the sweet spot seemingly any time he chose. The 9,009 fans at Peoria Stadium let out a collective gasp as their hopes were answered and Griffey gave them the flashback they'd envisioned on an otherwise uneventful day to that point.

It was only spring training for a guy hitting .179, but somehow the ball that carried over the right-field wall for a 6-5 victory over the Cincinnati Reds seemed to instill hope of more magic to come. Both for a Mariners team facing numerous hurdles heading into the season, and for No. 24, trying to show he still has something left in what will likely be his final season.

"I saw all my guys at home plate," Griffey said. "That's one of the best feelings in baseball, to see all your guys waiting for you. It doesn't matter who it is. You saw it last year when Ichiro hit a walkoff (home run). When the guys come in, that's the part of being a team everybody wants to see."

Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu joked afterward that Griffey did a good job of setting up reliever Wells by swinging at two pitches in the dirt after the count had run up to 3-0. Griffey had been hit in the ankle by a pitch from Reds first-rounder Mike Leake earlier.

Leake said after the game that Griffey had been his boyhood idol and he didn't know whether he was supposed to apologize to him or not care.

Griffey hasn't looked much like that player Leake idolized for a good part of the spring. The Mariners plan to go with Griffey as their main designated hitter against right-handers, but he's had trouble making solid contact.

Griffey himself shrugged off questions about his slow start.

"It's spring training," he said. "It's spring, everybody's working on something. I just started being able to do some things. I just happened to get the ball up in the wind tunnel."

One of the things Griffey's been doing is sitting back and looking at pitches.

"I've been out front on a lot of things," he said.

Griffey attributed that to being overanxious, something he quickly added is normal for him in just about every at-bat. One guy feeling anxious as Griffey battled at the plate in the ninth was Reds manager Dusty Baker.

"With that wind blowing out you say 'Oh, Lord! Don't let it get up in the air,' " Baker said. "He's not Ken Griffey Jr. for nothing."

And on a day time stood still, he reminded folks he still was.

Since he drove off into the sunset on June 2 after deciding to retire from baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. has rarely been seen or heard publicly.

Griffey did emerge to eulogize Mariners announcer Dave Niehaus, but otherwise he has had few post-retirement pronouncements.

But that doesn't mean Griffey, who turned 41 in November, has gone into hibernation. His longtime agent, Brian Goldberg, said Griffey is enjoying his life in Orlando, Fla., as a full-time civilian.

"Kenny was able to enjoy certain things in the summer he was never able to do before," Goldberg said.

That included watching his daughter, Taryn, play high-level AAU basketball, and his son, Trey, play high school football. He even helped coach the junior football team of his youngest son, Tevin, this fall.

"Right now, he's pretty much having a normal offseason, being a husband and dad," Goldberg said. "He's weighing options on what he wants to do from here on out. I've been fielding a lot of calls, a lot of different types of things, whether it's business related or sports. He's weighing how much time he wants to spend with any particular thing.

"One thing you don't have to worry about with Kenny is him making that transition to the after-playing life. Ken is very secure in who he was as a player, who he is now as a retired player, and who he's been as a husband and father."

Could Griffey pull a Brett Favre and reconsider his retirement?

"I definitely don't see that happening," Goldberg said, with a laugh.

But a reconnection with, and a role in, the Mariners' organization is likely to occur for Griffey.

"I'm confident that will happen in the future," Goldberg said. "It's just a matter of when, and what might be the right situation."
