SEATTLE -- Remember when Ken Griffey Jr. tried his hand at rapping?

The Kid joined fellow "kid" Kid Sensation for 1992's "The Way I Swing."

Yeah Griff is a swinger

not a singer

a def rhyme bringer

a home run hitter

but I'm not a dope slinger

For those who try to flex

I'm a quick neck wringer

For those who think the rhyme's wiggity-whack

I'm gonna sting ya.

It wasn't going to win any Grammys, but The Kid could definitely bring the funk.

Listen to the whole song here.
