Heard it most of the day on the radio on fox sports.

Jr plays baseball the way it should be... but it also cost him... he plays full speed with no regards to his body which cost him at least 3 1/2 years in his prime...
easily the best player of his generation.... he would be past Aaron and Bonds if he were healthy the entire time

I was about to say, they put NOT in big bold letters across the ticker earlier. Thank goodness. I hate it. If he wouldn't have gotten hurt, I don't think anybody would care that Bonds broke the record because Griffey would have 800.

A-Rod will get to 800 and make it all a moot point.

Maybe so, but I somehow don't believe that his legacy will live on as Ken Griffey's will. I have some of Ken Grffey's old baseball cards and hopefully they will be worth a lot one day.

I got to meet him once... he is exactly like you think he would be... very personable... of course it was one meeting... but I loved it...

it is amazing how he and Barry grew up in essentially the same environment yet they are totally different
