I'm voting for Griffey for the all star game, as well as a write in for the home run derby. Go to MLB.com and vote for Griffey in the all star game and home run derby. You can vote 25 times for each from each e-mail address you have. I'm voting hundreds, if not thousands of times, but he needs more.
I miss all those moments of him being a young kid in Seattle with his dad. I remember when he and his dad hit back-toback HR's in a game. That was amazin'! Go Mets!
I am a true seattle fan and Griffey is the best there ever was and will be. I dont care if he beats Bonds or not. It's not fair because Bonds took staroids and I dout he could have made to 630 without them.
Yeah if he stayed healthy....He's 40 and he had 630. Obviously no way he can hit 132 more to beat Bonds. Thome is old and he's got 564 so he won't get it. Manny is getting older. Only guy I can think of with the closest chance to beat it is sadly A-Rod..... Alot of people say Ryan Howard but he's 30 and he's only at like 220 hr's.
You know that is exactly what's so cool about Griffey. He hits a home run in New York, they cheer!!!! He hit one at Petco and you could hear kids yelling "GRIFFEY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!" He's the man who was supposed to bring balance to the game.
Its a shame that he never won the world series I think he more than deserves it. If he wasnt injured I can see him holding the homerun and RBI record.
Hats Off to the Fans of Seattle. That man is wearing a different Uniform and yet they still embrace him like he stll plays for seattle. Talk about Fan support! Jr. is the Best!
it doesnt hurt that Ken's a class act as well, we seattle fans harbor no ill feelings towards him at all.. unlike Pay-Rod, or A-Fraud.. whatever you want to all him heh
I would love to see the opening game at Safeco when his name is announced. Dave Niehaus when he sees him will give him his trademark "MY OH MY'S!" along with the crowd being so loud the retractable roof will blow off into Elliot Bay!
like him or not -,as one superstar after the other falls thanks to Roids ,Griffeys clean status places him at the top of the heap.was he really the best of his time all along ?
maybe top 5 all time without the injuries? he's already the best ever during the prime of his career and without the injuries, his career numbers would have reflected that.
for your imformation seattle 's front office ask griffey who should they trade of him or Arod he responded it was general mannager 's responsability ok ....never write without explore the issue ok .
It's kinda sad as a M's fan that this is our best moment of the year. A opposing player hitting a home run. It's also funny how us M's fans worship Griffey but hate A-Rod. Griffey demanded a trade outta Seattle with limited choices. A-Rod gave us a chance to sign him, but he went for the money. HUGE money......Yeah, he could of took less to stay with the M's..But it's a little different when you actually are that person. That being said..I hate A-Rod. but, mostly because his personaility(douche)
Griffey did more for Seattle than A-Roid ever did. Griffey put Seattle on the baseball map. Griffey had little kids on every continent wearing M's caps because of what he did on the field and who he was as a person.
Yes, Griffey demanded a trade...but if you recall that trade turned out pretty damn good for us. Meanwhile, A-Rod sold out for a huge chunk of money and subsequently cheated.
This is why I boo A-Fraud and cheer Griffey, and will be happy to see him return.
griffey is the reason i bought a mariners hat as a young kid living in the deep south. he was and still is to this day an icon for the seattle m's.. i completely agree griffey did much more for seattle's program than arod.
Even without the record, he's the best ever. Many people fail to realize that for the 90's decade the man dominated the game of baseball. From over the shoulder catches to home runs, he did it all.
Now, titanium screws and all, he STILL is a weapon.
Definately 1 of the best. He's my favorite player of all time & if you really think about it,had he not had the injuries he'd probably be approaching Barry Bonds record by now. He will be a Hall Of Famer though,& you gotta love the fact that not only is Griffey a great player,but he's a clean player-(no trouble on/off the field,didn't do steroids,etc.) I hope he has a chance to raise his homerun total to 650 though,that would be an even bigger accomplishment
my childhood sports hero right there. happy to have him on the south side of chicago now, i'll see him against the red sox saturday. he's the best in my book
Look at the bat speed through the zone. The ease of his stroke is un-rivaled by ANY player in the league right now. At 38 he still has the best swing in the game.
I don't know how old you guys are, so don't take this as an attack. Alot of people who never saw him when he came up through the 90's truly don't realize how great he really was. I'm sure several of you who made statements of support truly mean it. However, unless you saw him in action during those times, you just don't understand what he was to the game. He is the greatest to ever play this game, ever!!!!!
Griffey easily would've hit 700 homers if he wasn't hurt for like four years. this guy has been an amazing player throughout his career...at the plate, in the outfield, and off the field. he's a great guy. congrats to jr.!!
Honestly....I think if griffey hadnt been hurt for MORE than 4 years (lets face it hes had nagging injuries for a long long time) he could have easily broken 900 by now.
My theory is he would have gotten PLENTY more at bats (well obviously because he was injured) and lets face it even as a yankee fan he is honestly the greatest player ive seen. He's done it all and he's done it with honesty, integrity and one of the nicest attitudes ever portrayed by ANYONE in MLB
its a shame that he was injured for a couple of seasons or else i have no doubt in my mind that he would be at or above where bonds is but with griffey theres no steroid questions hes just a great player
Griffey Jr. at one time stated that he wanted to end his career back in Seattle. I really hope that happens. I'm 20 and have been a big Mariners fan since I remember baseball, due almost entirly to Griffey, along with Buhner, Cora, A-Rod, and The Unit. I want nothing more than Griffey to head back to Seattle from Cinci, and stop by my house in Iowa on the way back so I can get him to autograph something in my room of Griffey stuff
God how I wish he would come back to Seattle. There has been talk of it and he wants to. He needs to come back to the AL and play D.H so that he can stay healthy. If he would have been healthy or on Roids Like Bonds was from 2000 untill last year, Nobody would even be talking about Barry Bonds right now.HE is the best all around player ever. Hands Down.
The Reds announced yesterday that they are willing to trade Jr. and so far the Mariners are the only team that is showing interest. I think there is still some class in baseball as it looks like the Reds will let Jr. finish his career where he wants. I am stoked!!!
jr was the best mariner ever, wish he never left, i used to go to games all the time, i even used to imitate his batting stance and swing when i played little league haha
your 16? I'm 21 he came out in 87 a year after i was born.. lol I've seen GRIFFY!!! when I was 5 he was the reason i started playing ball. Your a youngin!!!
I was at this game. Probably the best game I have seen in my life. My favorite player, Griffey, hits two home runs and the Mariners still win. There was even a suicide squeeze! Great baseball. But seeing Griffey in a Reds uniform makes me cry.
You know, you're right. If Griffey hadn't been hurt all those times, he WOULD'VE passed Hank Aaron and probably claimed some other records too, rather than Bonds...but you know what the BEST thing is...? You'll NEVER, EVER hear GRIFFEY say that...
this is from a yankees fan a healthy Ken Griffey jr is the best baseball player i have ever seen and props to Dave Niehaus for getting to the hall of fame
what are u talking about thats what he'll hit WITH the injuries he's at 580something right now and still fairly young, but if he wouldnt of been hurt all of those times his numbers prolly would've been around 770something
For anybody who has watched him, he is the best of this era, even with Bonds, Arod, and McGuire. Injuries will rob him of his due greatness, but in terms of actual play (not numbers) he maybe GOAT.
Griffey should be in a #24 Mariners uniform. Griffey could still beat Bonds for the home run record if he can stay healthy and out of injuries. Bonds is 5 years older than Griffey so if Jr can put at least 5 more solid years of an average of around 30-35 HR's a season he'd have Bonds beat. it'd be 100% ALL NATURAL
He was the youngest slugger ever to reach 100 home runs in his career, if it wasn't for his injuries he would have beaten Bonds easily. And without steroids!
Such a beautiful baseball park.... To bad no one goes to the games...

You know, you're right. If Griffey hadn't been hurt all those times, he WOULD'VE passed Hank Aaron and probably claimed some other records too, rather than Bonds...but you know what the BEST thing is...? You'll NEVER, EVER hear GRIFFEY say that...

So that's damn impressive. FIRST pitch he sent into the bleachers. I agree with a lot of people here bout Jr's swing. So effortless but POWERFUL.

Ken Griffey Jr was my favorite palyer on the mariners and he still is. He made me proud to be baseball fan from washington

For anybody who has watched him, he is the best of this era, even with Bonds, Arod, and McGuire. Injuries will rob him of his due greatness, but in terms of actual play (not numbers) he maybe GOAT.

what kind of guy can get that reaction when he hits a homerun at an away stadium? griffey thats who

Griffey should be in a #24 Mariners uniform. Griffey could still beat Bonds for the home run record if he can stay healthy and out of injuries. Bonds is 5 years older than Griffey so if Jr can put at least 5 more solid years of an average of around 30-35 HR's a season he'd have Bonds beat. it'd be 100% ALL NATURAL

He was the youngest slugger ever to reach 100 home runs in his career, if it wasn't for his injuries he would have beaten Bonds easily. And without steroids!
