Ken Griffey Jr. owed Cincinnati Reds teammate Josh Fogg $1,500, and paying by check just wouldn’t do. So when Fogg arrived in the Reds clubhouse Wednesday, he found his locker filled with 150,000 pennies — 60 boxes, each weighing 16 pounds and containing $25 worth of pennies. “Basically, it’s like having 60 bowling balls in your locker, only with no holes to pick them up with,” Griffey said.
