Griffey on Bonds

Ken Griffey spoke to reporters about the latest Barry Bonds book:

?I don?t remember it ever happening,? he said. ?The only thing that Barry and I ever really talked about was me coming out to San Francisco and working out with him. And I told him, ?For six weeks, I can?t leave my family.? I told him it?s like me asking him to come down to Florida for six weeks. It?s tough when you have families. As far as the other thing, that conversation didn?t happen.?

The headline, “Griffey denies ?roid talk,” isn’t quite right. A denial is saying that I remember that evening and Bonds didn’t say that. “I don’t remember,” isn’t the same thing. I would hope that there were multiple people at the dinner who did remember before something like that was printed in the book.
