What do you think of Griffey wearing no. 42 on Jackie Robinson's anniversary?
Question:I think it's very classy and just adds another reason to the list of why I respect Griffey. You pretty much knew it'd be Griffey getting this idea and not someone like Bonds although he'll probably copy.

I think it's a great idea. It shows a lot of respect towards Robinson, and it also shows the fans that he's a good, clean, respectful player. I'm all for Ken Griffey wearing number 42. It's a nice little tribute that goes a long ways.Who is the best pitcher in baseball?

No one should be allowed to wear my number.Will Chipper Jones stay with the Braves for the rest of his career?
he represents a good all around african american player and him wearing number 42 will bring him honors he wont be the only one wearing 42(Mariano Rivera) but this is different but KG wearing the number will prove what type of man he is off and on the fieldIt's a great idea, one which shows that our current superstars are willing to honor and respect the game's heroes. As I was wondering whether that existed with so many sports stars being egotistical and self-centered, this gesture by Griffey is very refreshing.
Kudos to Griffey for being a class act; what would be great if one player on every MLB team followed suit.
I think Robinson would be proud to see Griffey wear that number.
I think it is a classy act by a classy player. Kudos to KG for this gesture, he not only honors Jackie Robinson but also the game of baseball. KG represents one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Its a shame injuries prevented him from being in Bond's shoes about to break the all time record for home runs.
