Here’s how to watch Ken Griffey Jr. be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a part of the 2016 class.

Not only did Ken Griffey Jr. rightfully be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame during his first year in the balloting, “The Kid” finished with the highest percentage of votes gathered for a player in the history of the voting (99.3 percent).

On Sunday, Griffey Jr. will officially be inducted into Cooperstown for his legendary 22-year career that (technically) spanned across three decades. Junior Griffey played in 2,671 career games, hit .284 with 630 home runs and drove in 1,836 runs with a career slash line of .284/.370/.538.

The 1997 American League MVP played for three teams in his career: the Seattle Mariners (in two stints), the Cincinnati Reds and a brief stint with the Chicago White Sox in 2008.

Griffey Jr. never won that elusive World Series title in his 22 seasons in the bigs, but he made 13 All-Star Games, won 10 Gold Glove Awards, won the Home Run Derby on three occasions (1994, 1998 and 1999) and won the Silver Slugger Award seven times.

If it wasn’t for the injuries that began to derail his career during his time with the Reds, there’s a good argument that Ken Griffey Jr. could’ve become not only the greatest outfielder that ever played the game, but the greatest player ever to play the game period.

It’ll be quite a scene in New York on Sunday to see the greatest player of his generation join the likes of the immortals waiting in Cooperstown on Sunday afternoon with fellow inductee Mike Piazza.
