Ken Griffey Jr. is the Cover Athlete For MLB The Show 17, Releases on March 28

[RandyBass]

Just saw one of those replays of seasons they do on the MLB Network, this one for 1995, and it was remarkable to see again just how dominant of a player he was: His skill, power, speed, and quite frankly even just his presence were all dominant. Always one to come up big, he hit 5 HRs in that 5 game series against the Yanks, while also scoring that memorable series winning run from first. Few players like him in any sport.

Excellent cover choice. No complaints what so ever. MVP edition it is for me.

This was the VERY first thing I thought of. I hope it has all of the HOFs in it...I'd love to see guys like Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz with a correct delivery.

Also...here's hoping to see some more of the old stadiums (Astrodome, Kingdome, Tiger Stadium).

Nice cover choice.

Who?

I really wish that would have happened but I doubted it would all along honestly. Hopefully they have a little something in game like maybe he can be the background of a menu like for example they had Degrom as the background for RTTS last year and maybe they could put a smallish R.I.P in the image. Another thing they could do is put a little something in the loading/trailer video that plays every time you load the game up unless you skip it. Maybe another thing they could do is add a little something into the commentary for Marlins games that you hear once in a blue moon. Just not every game of course.

Just a few ideas on things they could do. Hope they don't just do nothing. Not saying they should do all of them, maybe just one or something like one of them. And yes I know I'm probably getting off topic here.

Getting rights to put him in there may not be so easy. I would imagine he is no longer part of the players association.
