The Ken Griffey Jr. Party

In mid May my roommate Brick started a quest to win the 1996 world series. Sweet Brick struggled through 162 complete games of Ken Griffey Jr. baseball over the course of the past 6 months and last Thursday he beat the Padres FTW. We made a bit of an event for the achievement.


We got a couple of kegs and all bought Value World out of baseball attire. The game started at 10pm and about 30 people showed up to cheer him on. We of course had to set up a PA system so we could do play by play and sing the National Anthem.

This is us singing the National Anthem with everyone facing the "TRUCKS" flag. We all sat on the couches behind brick and cheered him on. Brick, got out to an early lead due to his stacked roster:

Walker RF
Bonds LF
Piazza C
Griffey Jr. CF
Molitor 3B
Hansen 1B
Gwynn 2B
Jeter SS
E. Martinez DH

He scored 4 homers en route to a 6-2 win. When he got the final out all hell broke loose. 4 bottles of champagne were sprayed. There were high-fives everywhere and so much yelling. Someone put on "We Are the Champions" and we presented Brick with a trophy and put him on our shoulders and carried him around the house.

We then just partied all night, hard enough to get a noise violation. But not me because I had to work the next morning at 5:40.
