Ken Griffey: Give Credit Where Credit's Due

the last of a dying breed!

There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home... Oh, wait, this sounds familiar.

Nice post. What a ball player. It's always tough to look at the what ifs. My grandmother used to tell me all the time that Ted Williams would have been the all-time home run champ if he didn't have to serve his country twice during the wars. Griffey is an amazing player and I enjoyed watching him throughout his career.

As a Reds fan, I will say this: Ken Griffey Jr. is still waiting for 598 (last homer on April 23). The Reds are waiting with him so that they can trade him and get rid of overblown salary. The Reds need to get younger and Griffey needs to go. There is no proof that Griffey did it the right way, much like there is no proof that Bonds didn't. Keep that in mind before handing out high praise for a player that has mostly been a disappointment in Cincinnati.
