Public Diplomat

Congratulations to Ken Griffey Jr., the latest envoy in the U.S. State Department's American Public Diplomacy program.

All-Star baseball player Griffey "joins Michelle Kwan, Fran Drescher, and Cal Ripken, Jr. as Americans who go out on behalf of the values of the United States – not the Government of the United States, but the values of the United States – to engage with people around the world from very special positions," said Secretary Condoleezza Rice.
