He never made a big deal out of it.
But for one little girl and her father… it changed everything.

When Ken Griffey Jr. Skipped Batting Practice — To Make a Fan’s Dream Come True

It was 1996.
The Seattle Mariners were warming up at the Kingdome.

Batting practice was in full swing. Fans were shouting names, hoping for a glance, maybe a signature. Most players kept their eyes forward, focused on routine.

But Ken Griffey Jr. spotted something different in the third row.

A little girl — maybe 9 or 10 — wearing an oversized Mariners jersey, gripping a baseball tight in both hands. Her dad stood beside her, whispering something. She looked nervous. Then she held up a small, handwritten sign.

It read:
“My Dad Has Cancer. This Is Our First Game Together.”

Griffey Jr. put down his bat.

He didn’t wave security. Didn’t send a staff member.
He walked right into the stands.

At first, no one understood what was happening. He climbed over the railing, made his way up the aisle, and knelt right in front of them.

He took the girl’s hand. Smiled. Asked for her name.

Then he hugged her dad.

They talked for five minutes. Griffey listened more than he spoke. When he signed the ball, he asked her to hold it out — not her dad.

“This one’s for you,” he said, “so you can remember this day, not the hard ones.”

Before he left, he whispered something to the dad.
No one knows what it was.

They sat in their seats the whole game, and Griffey waved every time he passed the outfield.

Years later, that little girl would write a letter to a Mariners blog.

She said:
“My dad didn’t make it to another game. But that was the happiest day of his life. Ken Griffey Jr. didn’t just give us a baseball. He gave us a memory I still hold on to — tighter than that ball.”

He wasn’t just a legend on the field.
He knew how to win — where it mattered most.

Vail is a short ride 2.5 hour ride from Dallas in the King Air 350. Bring a squad of 8 and you can still bring 500Lbs of gear.

There is always time for a quick round after the meeting when you get there in half the time.

Who is ready to slide out to the Bahamas? It is a quick trip from the east coast in The King Air. The short field capability also gives you access to islands not accessible by most turbo fan jets.
