Ken Griffey Jr. Is Cold Blooded

Adrian Beltre suffered a most cringe-worthy injury when he injured his man parts while fielding a ground ball sans cup. He’s evidently had just about enough of your jokes about his injury, and understandably so. Even the most good-natured folks can only take a joke so long before insult and injury becomes too much to deal with.↵↵All of that makes me wonder how friendly Beltre and Ken Griffey Jr. are these days. Via the Seattle Times:↵

↵↵⇥When Beltre came up for his first at-bat, the theme for Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker” was played, a gesture from Ken Griffey Jr., whose MRI on his knee showed no structural damage.↵↵↵Where does this rate on the scale of at-bat song burns? Better or worse than Mariah Carey being played when Derek Jeter comes to bat? I’ll say this is worse, because it’s not like Jeter hasn’t bounced back in his love life, but a shot to the groin that puts you on the DL. That kind of thing lives in infamy. ↵
