Just watched his speech and have never seen him that emotional. We were lucky to watch his greatness. Congrats to the kid. :irishdrinkers:

The speech will be re-run on Root Sports at 7:30pm tonight.
Like I said in a previous post, I think it was an oversight. I don't think he mentioned Jackie Robinson either, which I knew Griff had a ton of respect for.Hawk-Lock":3sk98tc7 said:No one els found it a little odd he never mentioned Lou?

You never saw Willie Mays play then. IMO he's still #1 though it's quite close. But you did say "heavily biased".Rob12":14lg5x1u said:Best player ever in my mind. Heavily biased.

Nor did I hear him mention Dave Niehaus. I thought they were supposed to be pretty close. Junior was the first one to call Dave when it was announced that Dave had been awarded the Ford C. Frick Award by the hall.
