All about Ken Griffey Jr's retirement
After the second game of a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins on June 2, 2010, Griffey left the Mariners and departed in the middle of the night to drive across the country to his home in Florida.
Griffey announced his immediate retirement in a statement issued by the Seattle Mariners organization. Few hours before the start of the next day's game, Griffey's agent informed Mariners president Chuck Armstrong of the same. Griffey then called from the road to confirm it.
Before the Mariners' game against the Twins, Griffey's retirement was made public at Safeco Field. Griffey said that he retired to avoid being a nuisance for the team, in an interview on March 17, 2011.
