"My favorite Yankee Stadium memory?" the Reds slugger said last night. "It's leaving Yankee Stadium."
Griffey is no fan of history, and no fan of the Yankees since Billy Martin, who has been dead for 17 years, yelled at a young Griffey while his dad, Ken Sr., was a member of the Bombers.

"The Reds haven't been here in 30 years," he said before the Reds' 4-2 victory last night. "For us it's a road trip we have to make, not something to look forward to."
He also told Peter Abraham that "It's just something on the schedule, (The media) is making a bigger deal out of it than I am."
Steve Lombardi over at WasWatching.com suggests booing Griffey, and I think that's a fine response, but here's another that I felt would be just as effective:

That might be another reason why he doesn't like new york....
