All due respect, Junior was the best
TEAMS: Cincinnati Reds
PLAYERS: Ken Griffey
Griffey, who in his prime (1996-2000), was averaging 49.8 homers a season and 137 RBIs, was the undisputed best player in the game. While smashing the ball out of every ballpark Griffey was still averaging 170 hits a season and grabbing 15-20 bags every summer. Griffey was mentioned before Bonds, Sosa, & Big Mac as the guy who would eclipse Henry Aaron as the eventual home run king. On Monday evening Ken Griffey joined Bonds, Sosa, Ruth, Mays, and of course Aaron as the only six players to ever hit 600+ home runs in a career

    if not the injuries, he likely would be on track for at least 800 homers. here's hoping he's still got a lot more left in him before he hangs it up.

    to me griffey had the potential to be the best player ever. Griffey being clean though all his life makes his the best player in baseball in the 90's.. He is the 1990's player of the decade. He is all muscle and would be on point for even a thousand!

    Bottle him at his best and he is just that- the best.

    I believe if he can make his way back to the AL ( as a DH) he'll have a shot at 700(4 TO 5 Years). Bonds legacy has been tainted; Therfore, Ken Griffey Jr. (even with the injuries) is hands down the best player of my generation.
