Griffey is probably the most talented player ever to step on a baseball field, but imagine what his career would have been like if he'd trained and conditioned properly instead of just relying on his innate ability.

He would have hit 900 home runs if he had taken training seriously. Certainly his broken wrist was a freak accident, but most of his other injuries could have been prevented.

Also, this is a nike ad... Junior would have been the best even if he played shoeless.

Funniest commercial, i've ever seen.

I'm 18 now and remember Ken Griffey, Jr. being the first baseball player I really liked when I was 4 or 5 years old. Best player of my generation, BAR NONE! What's even sweeter is that years later, all signs are clear that he was free of steroids. I can't wait to see this man inducted at Cooperstown!

Imagine if he played for the Yankees.......The Yankees probably would have another 3-4 championships.

@lagunatom this is the sentiment of every kid growing up in the 90's

@fendertender1

absolutely, no doubt about it. I think he should have just stayed in Seattle his entire career, and stayed away from the NL and the Reds. Imagine what could have been if the Mariners held on to Griffey, A-rod, got Ichiro and also had guys like Edgar Martinez, Jay Buhner, Randy Johnson......probably would have won a world series in the early 2000's.

@Fable206 if he wasnt injured he PROBABLY wouldve hit more Home runs then Hank Aaron, dont you think?

[Fable206]

@giancarlog89 you've got to be shitting me dude...you obviously know nothing about the game of baseball if you're questioning Griffey's career...it was plagued by injuries, but in his prime, was one of the most FEARED (if not THE MOST feared) hitters in the game

@statman06 Stern is a saint compared to the greatest a-hole of all, Selig.

@timmyj114 was a 40+ 100+ with a glove. some people are clueless on how good players are and were

[DeathCountRises]

The only time I got to see JR in person was at the Doc Gooden No hitter at Yankee Stadium as a kid

[timmyj114]

"A 30 homer and 100 RBI guy"?? No no no...in his prime he was much better than that...oh yeah, don't forget the gold glove...
