SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) -- Ken Griffey Jr. is finally saying what broke his throwing hand -- wrestling with his kids.

The Cincinnati Reds center fielder said he was wrestling with his daughter and two younger sons on his yacht in the Bahamas this past December when the oldest jumped in and knocked him off balance. He landed awkwardly on his left hand.

"It was nothing that could violate my contract," he said Friday after reporting early for training camp. "It was Dad being Dad."

Interesting, never heard of wrestling with kids as an excuse However Griffey is one of my favorite players, ife he would just stay healthy, he would have quite a productive season.
