Sinopsis:
Reflecting on an outstanding 19-year major-league career, this autobiography chronicles baseball great Ken Griffey, beginning with his days just out of high school. The account relates Griffey’s decision to venture into the baseball business, documenting his time as a scout, coach, and manager along with his accomplishments as a father, raising two other major league ballplayers: Craig, who played briefly for the Seattle Mariners, and future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. Capturing the subject’s time with the Big Red Machine, this record details his days playing alongside Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, and Pete Rose, highlighting the Reds' two consecutive world championships in 1975 and 1976. Finally, the ultimate thrill of Griffey’s career is featured: playing in the same outfield in 1990 with his son, Ken Griffey Jr., during the game where they hit back-to-back home runs―the only father-son combination to do so in the history of Major League Baseball. Filled with amusing anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it’s like when baseball really does run in the family, this is a sports memoir unlike any other.

Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. Flawless brand new 1st Edition Thus/1st Printing hardcover *SIGNED* by Ken Griffey on the title page without inscription. "Ken Griffey Sr. has been a part of more baseball history than almost anyone in the history of the game. From winning two chapionships with the Big Red Machine to playing Billyball with the Bronx Zoo to patrolling the very same outfield with his own son, Ken Griffey, Sr. has seen and done it all in professional baseball. In Big Red: Baseball, Fatherhood, and My Life in the Big Red Machine, Griffey takes you from his childhood with a single mother in Donora, Pennsylvania, a town famous for a deadly disaster and for turning out baseball-great Stan Musial. Griffey would be the second great player to charge out of Donora. Drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 1969, he narrowly avoided ending up in the plane crash that killed 37 members of the Marshall University Thundering Herd, and went on to become a key cog in the Big Red Machine. Griffey recalls winning the World Series in 1975 and '76, and playing in 'the greatest game ever played,' Game 6 of the '75 series. Griffey was traded to the Yankees after the '81 season, and shares what it was like playing in the Bronx Zoo under Billy Martin, Yogi Berra, and George Steinbrenner. He also details the experience of finishing out his career in Seattle, playing on the same team as his son, Ken, Jr., as well as relating the story of that fateful day in June 1990 when he and Junior homered back to back, becoming the first father and son to do so in the same game. After his playing days were over, Griffey went on to coach, scout and manage. Big Red is the story of a life in baseball, but it's much more than that. Ken Griffey's story is about the love of baseball, love of family, and love of life." -- the Publishers. We will wrap this great sports collectible in bubble-wrap to protect its corners and ship it in a sturdy box, not a padded envelope. Signed by Author(s). Nº de ref. del artículo: ABH253
