The center fielder form the Cincinnati Reds said he was wrestling with two sons and daughter last december. When his oldest son fell awkwardly on Griffey’s left hand and broke it according to fox sports. “It was nothing that could violate my contract,” he said Friday after reporting early for training camp. “It was Dad being Dad.”

Griffey has stated that his injury is healing quickly and he should be ready to play when spring training begins. Of course, the teams medical staff will make the final decision as to whether Griffey is ready to play, he is confident his injury wont be a problem. “It’s just getting stronger, that’s the biggest thing,” Griffey said. “I don’t have any loss of range of motion. It’s just a matter of getting everything stronger.”
