Ken Griffey Jr hits home run number 600

congradulations at reaching number 600. He now joins Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, and Sammy Sosa as the only members of that club. Griffey was the most Gifted Baseball Player over the past 15-20 that I have seen. now Barry Bonds is the best Player that I have ever seen period,but Griffey was the most gifted to me. Griffey had that classic Swing and his glove work in the outfield was awesome. Griffey is as Great as He is, there is that sentiment that had he not gotten hurt he would be pushing closer to 800 home runs. he also never made it to the World Series. the thing is that he wnet back home to Cincinnati and he got hurt and his career was never the same after he left Seattle where he became a SuperStar and a Household name,etc..... Griffey is almost forgotten and just 10 years ago you couldn't avoid him. this is a great accomplishment for Griffey. he is a Hall of Famer no doubt and yet we still wonder what If?? he is one of the few All time Greats that still left quite a few folks with a what If? we will always wonder.
