SARASOTA, Fla. Ken Griffey Jr. is not scheduled to play in Sunday's exhibition game against the Texas Rangers in Port Charlotte, Fla., denying fans the opportunity to see him play opposite his former Seattle Mariners megastar teammate, Alex Rodriguez.
Lest this seem like a conspiracy, bear in mind that veterans often skip road games. Teams are obligated to bring only four or five regulars to road games.
And Griffey probably will have played four consecutive days by then.
