Here's a scene we haven't seen much this year. Seattle Mariners' Ken Griffey Jr., left, who reportedly slept during a possible pinch-hitting situation earlier this month, is mobbed by teammates including Ichiro Suzuki, right, after Griffey hit the game-winning, RBI pinch-hit single in the ninth inning a baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays earlier today in Seattle. Milton Bradley scored on the hit, which gave the Mariners a 4-3 win. Story here. (AP Photo/Ted S. Warren)
