I wish he stayed as good as he was in Seattle, he'd probably have 800 (100% steroid free) homers or close to it. I still say he's right behind Willie Mays in homers 4th all-time if you don't count steroid Bonds.
Imagine if he was healthly the last 8 years. He might have 800 dingers and no roids. Regardless and in my humble opinion, he is the best all around player ever.
Griffey is the greatest ballplayer of our time. No questions asked whatsoever.
He is one hell of a funny guy too. You should've seen him mocking the umpire at last nights game. Priceless. A real nice guy as well.
On top of all the awards he's achieved, you have to remember the most important one of all. He's achieved everything without using steroids like so many other former champions.
And he's achieved everything with a smile on his face.
Absolutely agreed with everything you said. I love how he's brought back clubhouse leadership to the Mariners' dugout. While he doesn't produce like he did as a young man, he brings all the young guys together. The team isn't as fractious anymore because he came in and brought everyone together. That is one of the key reasons we're a much better team this year. What a leader.
You are 100 percent correct, as a reds fan we were very disapointed in him after his stellar career in seattle, but he wasnt juicing like so many other of these guys, and if he was the records would have been long gone by now.
Determining the BEST baseball players is a tough thing to do, but thank GOD he didn't take steroids! Him, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams are like the only top players HR-wise that didn't take roids. So yeah, I'd say him and Ichiro are 2 of the best, and they were/are both on the Mariners. woah
i agree jr is the best all around player ever 10 golden gloves,13 all stars top 5 in almost every hitting list and player of the decade no injuries he would own the record point blank TY griffey for the great times you gave me as a kid i loved you and always will
Fans, Griffey is the best there was and the best there EVER will be. You take away the horrific injuries he suffered and the man would easily eclipse the 800 home run mark. Yes I said it, the 800 home run mark. Griffey played the game clean, was THE most spectacular player to ever play the outfield and had a stretch of five years where he could do ANYTHING on the field with ease. Bonds is a roid freak, Manny Ramirez a tool, and A-Rod a complete fraud. Griffey is the greatest ever!!!
everyone needs to take a step back and appreciate what Junior did for the game
in an era that now has what might end up to be the two most prolific hitters of all time, Bonds and A-Rod, confessing to using roids and going on trial because he lied about using roids, and the best pitcher of the era, Clemens, probably going to jail, JR hit 600 HRS and counting and did it CLEAN
All of these other players avoided injuries by strengthening their muscles with roids, JR took the MLB with a sweet swing
he is the best player, and now that we all know a-rod was in fact on the juice. i'd say griffey stands alone in his own elite category of talent. only other hitter close to him from this era i would i agree is Manny, but man, griffey's got the purest most graceful swing ever.
Hell yea go White Sox! Griffey is welcomed with open arms! He will be rejuvenated in Chicago, its an exciting place to play. home games are amazing seriously, all the pregame stuff is about the world series which will make him hungry for a ring
I was in right field and there was a Pirates fan about 5 rows behind me who kept heckling Junior when he came in as a defensive sub in the 9th and the guy left between innings and never saw Junior's response :(
Oh yeah! Us black people take the prize!
