Ken Griffey Jr Retires


Ken Griffey JR Tribute Welcome Back - The best video clips are right here

Ken Griffey Jr is without question, the most gifted baseball player I ever saw in person. His effortless swing coupled with his powerful athleticism made him one of the most feared hitters over the last 20 seasons. His defense was off the charts. He won a Golden Glove every year in the 1990's. He hit 630 homeruns in his career and was absolutely plagued by injury. I don't know, but based on his body then vs now, he's probably one of the few clean superstars throughout the steroid era which is also why he couldn't battle through injury like say, I don't know, maybe, Barry Bonds. Griffey will be in the Hall, but I will miss the hell out of seeing the sweetest swing in the history of the game.
