Griffey Did It With Class...All 600

Cincinnati Reds' Ken Griffey Jr., waves to the
crowd after he hit his 600th home run during the
first inning of a baseball game against the Florida
Marlins Monday, June 9, 2008 at Dolphin Stadium
in Miami. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee)





Griffey's name never has appeared on a police blotter, has never been listed among those who cheated to gain an unfair advantage, has never been listed on any delinquent tax lists or bankruptcy lists for flushing his money away on drugs.”


 I just think Ken Griffey, Jr. has class, and he always has.  And he says he doesn’t remember touching the bases as he went around…just like a kid in all his glory….loving every moment of it.   I've always enjoyed watching Ken Griffey, Jr. play baseball.

One of our autographed baseballs includes one signed by both Ken Griffey, Jr. and his father.

And another take on Griffey, about what might have been….he's been plagued with injuries and could have had so much more......

Here, here.

I would add one more giant tidbit to Griffey's career.  Griffey Jr. managed to hit 600 homeruns without the benefit of performance enhancing drugs that have infested every facit of Major League Baseball in the last 20 years.  Taking that into account, Griffey Jr. would most likely be revered as one of (if not THE) best baseball players in Major League baseball in the last 30 years.  Unfortunately, his career stats will be compared to the likes of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.

Bonds, McGwire, Sosa, Big Brown (his trainer)?

Losers....
