Interesting to see him reneg on Atlanta... but Seattle's a good home for him. Let's hope he's among the 12 remaining players in baseball who hasn't dabbled w/ steroids...

Griffey is a stand up player, and I am almost certain he's steered clear of steroids. He, like his father, is in it for the love of the game.
