agreen_112 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Finally, Griffey hits 600. Only 5 players before Griffey have accomplished this. Ken Griffey Jr is THE best player of our era, HANDS DOWN. THE best "natural" homerun hitter and the BEST fielder for a solid 10-12 years straight and he's still making All Star games! 600 HR Club:Barry BondsHank AaronBabe RuthWillie MaysSammy SosaKen Griffey Jr... and he did it in sweet fashion with that signature swing... beautiful!

skyline Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Yeah, I'm really happy for the guy. I'm glad he did it now...in 10-20 years, I'm guessing that list will be twice as long. Quote
redsbengalsbucks Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 I think there will be a few make it, but 600 is 15 years averaging 40 HR's, still not easy to do even today. I'm still counting on A-Rod to wipe away the Bonds abomination though.Jr. needs to go to the AL and DH for a few years and he might still make 700. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 ... and he did it in sweet fashion with that signature swing... beautiful! More importantly he did it without the juice, just like the Babe, Hammerin' Hank, and Willie Mays did!Bonds and Sosa...well we all know the story there. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted June 10, 2008 Report Posted June 10, 2008 Gotta love seeing this from him regardless of your opinion of what he brings to the Reds organization. We got a handful of tickets to tonights game and it should be a packed house. I'm looking forward to seeing how loud the crowd gets when Griffey is announced !!! Congrats Jr. !!!WHODEY !!! Quote
