About the Book<\/h3>\n

\u201cBig Red\u201d is an autobiography that begins with Griffey’s days just out of high school. The account relates Griffey\u2019s decision to venture into the baseball business, documenting his time as a scout, coach, and manager along with his accomplishments as a father, raising two other major league ballplayers: Craig, who played briefly for the Seattle Mariners, and future Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. The book chronicles his time with the Big Red Machine, detailing his days when he played alongside Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Pete Rose, highlighting the Reds\u2019 two consecutive world championships in 1975 and 1976. Filled with amusing anecdotes and behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it\u2019s like when baseball really does run in the family, this is a sports memoir unlike any other.<\/p>\n
