Storyline:
THE GAME PLAN
Baseball's most popular and exciting player, Ken Griffey Jr., adds his name
and baseball expertise to Nintendo's newest Super NES baseball game. It was
the fifth game of the 1995 American League Wild Card Playoffs. Down by one
run in the bottom of the eleventh inning, the Seattle Mariners, with Ken
Griffey Jr. up to bat, were setting the stage for the most exciting finish in
a divisional series. Ken Griffey Jr. smacked a single to center field to
advance a runner to third base. Then the American League batting champ
stepped into the batter's box and drove a pitch to left field; one run scored
easily to tie the game.
But Wait! Here come Ken Griffey Jr. rounding third.
He's going to try the impossible,
scoring from first base.
The throw to the plate is on its way.
Ken Griffey Jr. hits the dirt.
The throw is not in time! The Seattle Mariners
advance to the American League Championship Series,
thanks in part to Ken Griffey Jr.'s winning run!
