Griffey Jr: A sad ending to a great career.

Featured Replies

Griffey is my all-time favorite baseball player. I may be biased, but without injuries I think he would have been the best overall player of all-time. I feel bad for him because he did things the right way (no PEDs) and suffered for it, while his peers used them to break records he should have had a shot at.

 

I agree.

 

Griffey has always been my favorite player of all time and I grew up idolizing him. Still have the Griffey SuperNintedo game. :lol:

His stats pre Reds are phenomenal but only 245 homers in the last 10 seasons. Three solid years as a Red, one can only imagine what he could have done if his health hadn't betrayed him.

I agree.

One of the best baseball games I've played, very underrated. It wasn't even in the top 200 all time per Gameinformer.

Slugfest? That game was AWESOME. Thats a crime, it should be top 50 at least.

The comments at the bottom of the story linked above are interesting, to say the least. Seems The Kid's a polarizing figure in Seattle as well.

 

I found this one amusing :

 

I asked my Griffey bobble head, "Are you ready to retire?"

Every single time, it nods, "Yes...yes...yes...yes...

If he hadnt went to the stupid Reds and got hurt every year he could have stayed in Seattle and broke all of the records. Good job Cinn. ruined a great career and a legit player, unlike Bonds and McGuire. 2 juicers.

You're kidding right? How the blazes are the Reds responsible for JR's injuries when he was on Cincy's roster?

"It’s not just that he’s 40, that his bat speed is down, or that he’s no longer able to play in the field." :lol:

Didn't know there was internet connection in space.

No injuries in Seattle, never healthy in Cinn. I blame CINN

Hmm.. so you missed the amazing catch he made in Seattle when he broke his wrist I am assuming?

Earth to jericho, your spaceship is double parked.

Someone has to take the blame, so I blame Cinn and change of venue.

On Around the Horn and PTI, almost all of the reporters indicated that naps in the clubhouse is not out of the ordinary. One of them, maybe Wilbon, indicated that Riveria (sp?), closer from the Yankees, takes naps during the game.
