Jr and the pills...

i was just reading that article "Psychological issues are no longer taboo" and i was pretty shocked when i got to the part that says:

Twenty-one years earlier, Ken Griffey Jr.(notes) swallowed enough aspirin to kill himself, or so he might have hoped. He was 18, famously talented and little more than a year from playing in the major leagues.


i can't believe he actually went through that...

I think his problems at a young age were pretty well documented years ago. He probably couldnt make up his mind what color Mercedes he wanted in highschool.
