@CAPTJACKRACKHAMZGM Thanks for the props man, but the respect has to go to Griffey, he's poetry in motion, he always in beat. It's likes he's dancing out there.Most of the time I'm just letting the footage play out and he makes the music fit.
You should check out some of my other shit. I have a few more highlight videos and some original stuff too.
Thanks for the comments too, I love to hear what people think.
this video makes me wanna cry... i can remember being a little kid playing little league watch kg play and saying he was my favorite player... now I'm all grown... Time flys man
@thegame245 I'm glad you liked it man, baseball went through a ton of rough shit during the late 90's and early 2000's but he was always the shinning light at the end of the tunnel. An athlete that children can be proud of.
@jhiller21 Sometimes I do, he reminds of a kid who just never stopped playing baseball, it never got to his head, he never made controversial statements. He's a throwback to a better time.
@MifuneMizoguchi Couldn't have said it better myself. These records belong to our fathers and their fathers. Imagine trying to tell your son why you don't respect the guy at the top of the list. It's like telling them Santa doesn't exist.
@TheJordan9903 I can agree with that. He is also one of the few players who just seemed to love playing the game. He would have done it for food stamps money. It wasn't for fame, it was for the love of the game.
Honestly the greatest baseball player ever in my opinion. If he had stayed healthy it's not crazy to think he could have hit 900 homers. Idiolized Griffey when I was a little kid. Had a life size cardboard cut out of him in my room for years.
I use to love watching this guy hit when I was a kid. As a kid, my favorite baseball players together, Ichiro Griffey & Arod all on the Mariners. Those where the days
@djsantander08 I hear you man. Ichiro and Griffey would have been so amazing to watch if they could have played together in their primes. No balls would have hit the turf between centre and right field.
not the best player of our generation pujols is and has done stat wise what nobody in the history of baseball has done.but griffey was one of the best ever, could of been the best ever but to many seasons with injurys.good stats just imagine what it could of been, he would of broke the HR record for sure he did have the best looking swing i think in baseball history.
@mikeo2112 Like I said Pujols is the greatest hitter of our generation. He hits for power average and he's as clutch as they come. But he doesn't even come close to the defensive player that Griffey was. Griffey was a 5 tool player. Pujols doesn't have the defence or the speed. Also Gififfey is the last player to take less then he's worth so he could go play at home in cincinatti. Pretty sure the yankees would have paid 200 million for him back in 2000.
@keenanmartens griffey was a hell of a player no dought about that.just was to injury prone after the 2000 season thats why he wouldnt of got the pujols money.but thats why pujols did get that money for what he has done consistently for the last 10 seasons that nobody ever has.if griffey would of stayed healthy and his shoulder wouldnt of been fucked up he should of been the highest paid player cause like you said he could do it all but doin it consistently is a different thing.
@mikeo2112 At 30 Griffey had more Homeruns and RBi's then Pujols. To me the difference comes down to playing centre field vs playing first base. Albert doesn't have to worry about the injuries because first base is so easy in comparison. If I had a chance to pick between pujols and Griffey at 18. I'd take Griffey.
@keenanmartens griffey had 438 and pujols had 408 at 30 pujols hit for over 300 100 RBI and over 30 HR his first ten straight seasons last year was his 11 season and he fell 2 RBI short of 100 and 1 batting point away from 300 and it would of been his first 11 seasons straight.but 10 straight seasons of his production has never been seen EVER.so if you would pick griffey over pujols your crazy pujlos batting avg and RBI is hell of alot more than griffeys at 30.
@mikeo2112 If you were to guarantee that Griffey and Pujols would have equal healthy careers. I would Draft Griffey, who's best year was a 56 hr 147rbi 304 Ba, pujols best year is 47 135 327. If you compare their primes 26-30 Griffey is the better player.
It's really simple. A power hitting first basemen or a power hitting centerfielder that runs like a gazelle, makes the highlight reels regularly......I'd say GRIFFEY for sure.
@LJSJIUJITSU Thanks man, to me Pujols might come out ontop in the hitting but it's the defence the speed that truly puts Griffey above and beyond everyone, except maybe Mays.
@mikeo2112 My final reason for picking Griffey is that a power hitting first baseman would be much easier to come by then a player of Griffey's caliber. Only 3 centre fielders hit more then 30 hr and 100rbi in 2011.While 7 (1b's) hit 30+hr and 100rbi+. So you have a shitty chance at a truly valuable centre fielder while I still have a great shot at filling my void at first base.
@mikeo2112 Griffey had 4 years where he hit over 40 home runs 100rbi's and 300+ batting average. Pujols is a better hitter, I'm not arguing that. All I'm saying is that Centrefield and Shortstop are the two hardest positions to play in the field. Not including catcher of course. When you think of the greatest defensive Centre fielders of all time it's Griffey and Mays. It's the defense! Will Pujols ever hit 50 homer's?
@JohnWallisBeast He's not behind A-rod yet. Griffey still has 1 more.
But the steroids makes those guys jokes. Please don't compare my hero to cheaters. Griffey was a hall of famer at 29 and he was named to the all century team. Bonds wasn't, A-rod wasn't. The best player of our generation. Period.
Ken Griffey jr. Definitely best of our time! One of the funnest players to watch!! Smoothest stroke and a great glove in the outfield. He did it the right way!
@BustersTexas He won 7 silver sluggers and 10 gold gloves over the course of a decade. He is the best 5 tool player I've ever seen. Pujols is the best hitter, but doesn't have Griffey's defence. Centre field is the hardest defensive position to play. He's our generations Mickey Mantle, the most talented player of our time and robbed of what could have been the greatest career of all time.
did you ever think the man might have been uncomfortable with all the attention....ever see the guy in interviews...signing autographs and you're a superstar becomes a spectacle...believe me not everyone wishes they were famous...you got him on the field where it counted
@kenpomaven I thought Griffey was great with the camera's nobody had more fun on the field. Even when he signed his contract in Cincinnati it was only for 110 million. He could have asked for 200 from the red sox or Yankees but he wanted to play at home. Who does that anymore? Lebron got to play at home but he ran the first chance he got. Griffey was a throwback player, like Willie Mays, but he was the coolest cat on the field. I swear the backwards hat was bullshit till he started doing it.
@BustersTexas When he tore his Hamstring in 2002 I sent him a get well soon card, he replied with a signed louisville slugger bat. This man was a class act al the way. He played for the love of the game.
@uguess94 No I didn't include him because he doesn't belong. Griffey is clean a player who symbolizes how the game is played. Bonds is only the home run (KEADER? ) because of steroids. You should have mentioned Ted Williams or Frank Robinson.
@keenanmartens first off let me just say i agree with you 100% but however you cant say MLB didnt make money on it...it was ok when he was making them all the money & charging "Superbowl money for commercials" & pretty much hyping it up as the greatest thing to ever happen but then they toss him aside like hes nothing....i went to cooperstown & ya know theres only one thing that even mentions bonds & its in a Hank Aaron memorial section all he has it a fuckin plaque on the wall with the hr list
@uguess94 MLB made a ton of money, more from the 98 homerun chase I think, but I think Bonds needs to come forward an apologize, give up 260 of those home runs and then maybe we'll vote him in there for what he did pre 1998.
@damndaleks I'm just talking shit to that guy, and Canada never gave up on it. Joey Votto, Justin Morneau, Rick Harden, Ryan Dempster, Brett Lawrie, Canada is very well represented. But this isn't about Canada vs. USAI't's about clean hitter vs. cheaters.
@damndaleks Griffey is the greatest all around player we have seen, King Albert is the greatest hitter to ever live. Nobody swings the lumber like Fat Albert.
I'm not on your level of comprehension? An because you live in a country with a 18 trillion dollar debt you're better then me? Just so you know dumb ass, you owe some Chinese Banker like 72000 grand because your country has flushed your money away. The recession will never end for your country, Canada is in a state of economic boom and many of our provinces have a surplus of money. In Alberta alone we have a 14 billion dollar surplus and universal healthcare. We created baseball too, so suck it
BTW i watched Griffey playin the minors! San Bernardino Spirit! and i live next to Barry's home town Riverside, you're not on my level of comprehension, fuck canada! USA #1 AND YOU KNOW IT! BITCH, OWNED!
@SoCalxHeartbreaker Haha you actually think Osama blew up the world trade centre too. Do all Americans still believe that? Guess what asshole Santa isn't real either. I can tell you about baseball because I know the game better then you. You are from the Bay area/Gay Area, the home of Balco, the scourge of the baseball world, oh and yes Barry Bonds the man who said fuck you to Baseball and got away with it. What are you going to tell your son when he asks why your Hero isn't in the hall of fame.
@SoCalxHeartbreaker Your hero is a cheater, Marion Jones got caught using the same substances that Barry did and she was erased from the Track and field record books. Another All American Hero. The same should happen for Barry, his career from 2000 to 2007 should be erased from the record books and you along with them.
@SoCalxHeartbreaker Are you truly a baseball fan? I don't think any true baseball fan can look at those records with any respect. I understand you live in California and he's your favourite player but he cheated plain and simple. Do you think we's clean? He was on 9 different steroids and 11 different compounds to hide the steroids. This was brought up in the Supreme court and he was found guilty of perjury. Your hero is a criminal. Canada invented Baseball so who's riding who's dick?
@4tea9ers My facts are straight, Cooperstown is the supposed home of this Cricket variation that you speak of, circa 1838, yet there are photographs and various other physical evidence of this game being played between 1836 and 1837 about 700miles north in Beachville Ontario. So it's you who should get you facts straight, nobody on this planet knows more about baseball then me. Canada also invented basketball too.
1836 and 1837? No no no. The recognized first RECORDED baseball game was also in 1838 in Beachville, Ont. And that claim is based off a letter that was published 50 years later. The earliest recorded piece of evidence that was found for base ball being played was in a town called Pittsfield, Mass. in 1791. There was a law/statute made that prohibited the play of "baseball" within a certain amount of feet from buildings.
@4tea9ers The game you're talking about is a direct play on Cricket, with one base, 4 fielders and a pitcher. This game may have been the basis for the evolution of the game we know and love but the first game of baseball played on a diamond with 4 bases and 8 players not including the shortstop was played in Beachville ontario in 1836.
@4tea9ers Sorry man, first recorded wins the award, it's like a patent, unless there is proof its all hearsay. You find me proof of America playing baseball before 1836 and I'll bow down and kiss your feet, but till then you guy's should be singing the Canadian national anthem in the middle of the 7th not God bless America, Take me out to the ballgame is fine.
