The unforgettable 1995 Griffey photo and the story behind the image.

Casey McNerthney has a great piece on seattlepi.com about the the unforgettable 1995 Griffey photo and the story behind the image.

The photo that even non-sports fans remember: Ken Griffey Jr. flashing a huge smile at the bottom of a Mariners pile after they beat the New York Yankees in a 1995 playoff. 

The image was taken 17 years ago Monday – Oct. 8, 1995 – by then-P-I photographer Robin Layton. She tells the story behind the photo.
