Don't count this guy out. Griffey has put hall of fame numbers up with out even trying. He was the most physically talented player in baseball. We are talking about a guy that wouldn't work out during the off sesaon, wouldn't stretch, and would go out and hit 50 home runs a season, bat 300, play gold glove defense, and reached 400 home runs faster than any player in history. He has learned a couple of hard lessons since he was traded to Cincinatti. 1 he has learned humilty (I personaly never had a problem with the best player in baseball being a little on the cocky side, he could back it up), 2 he has learned that he needs to take care of himself.

In short Griffey is a BASEBALL GOD and we were all lucky to be able to watch him on a day to day basis. That article mentioned that some were wondering if Griffey even belonged in the Hall of Fame. What a bunch of crap!!! Like him or not you can't deny his talent and what he has done in his career. I know that the M's were a better team after they traded him. Now that he has learned some humility, and some work ethic, I would love to have him back!!! How quickly we forget that Ken Griffey JR is the first true superstar Seattle has ever had in any sport!!!

That poll is a joke! Any team that has a chance to pick him should. He's had a good career and futer still in him. He had and eye opening after he left Seattle on how good he had it here. If he takes the right steps in off season conditioning he could play an easy ten more years, and take a serious run at Aaron's record along with how many more gold gloves. Given the chance to come back here would be positive for both sides. Who would'nt like to see those long majestic game winning home runs in late October.

Sparkey do you ever get out and enjoy yourself. It seems to me that you spend wayyyyyy to much time on the computer.

I expect him to break all of the home run records except the one that Bonds set. That's a lot of home runs in a season and they really didn't pitch to him. But what has all of this dribble have to do with fishing. After all this is a fishing site isn't it. huh
