I think I can remember once last year where he bunted against the ****ft.

However, contrary to other thoughts here in the group, I don't think 
Griffey bunting against the ****ft would do one bit of good when it comes 
to making the other team change their defense. I think they would GLADLY 
take a bunt single from Junior, even if he represents the wining run, 
before letting him deposit one in right field. I think they'd take that 
trade off all day long.
