^^ I have one too, autographed too, somewhere in this damn house.
Sucks that Barry is the posterchild of the steroid era, people just hate because others who tried sucked or could not stay healthy (the ones on steroids)
Baseball knowledge on hitting and on all the pitchers on the league > steroids.
adjustments on 0-2, on different pitches, adjusting on the outfield accordingly to every batter, knowing where the ball would be hit before it was hit, steroids CAN'T* teach that and much more.

that's a guilty conscience. nobody mentioned Barry Bonds. people were speaking on the entire steroid era in general. there have been hundreds if not thousands of players who have used during this era. Ken Griffey Jr. happens to be one of the best players of our era or any other for that matter and to this point there has never been even the slightest mention of his name with a link to anything illegal. Bonds fans got are too sensitive. don't get all defensive, Bonds was a great player and I got nothing against him, but this was not about him.
Shit livin in this city I can say that there is NOBODY that can touch what griffey has done for us. He built Safeco and saved us from being the Tampa Bay Mariners. Still have the 89 donruss rated rookie signed after third base coach Bob Diddier let me go in the clubhouse and see Griff as a little 9 year old. I will always remember him as the kid at the bottom of the pile after Edgars double. When i went to opening day last year, his first game back as a mariner, I got all choked up when they introduced him. There will never be someone who does what he did for sports in this city. He hit a home run in his first at bat as a Mariner and had a walkoff game winning hit for his last at bat as a mariner if I'm not mistaken. A big thankyou to the KID.
I memorized every lyric he spit in this song in junior high too. Ive posted it before fuck it here it goes again.

Thanks for these, Griffey Jr. and all the other shoes.
And your defensive play. Although that cant be too good for your knee. (And forget the knee, he broke his wrist on that catch). Knee problems would plague him eventually.
Griffey Jr. and Sr. are the only father-son tandem to play in the same outfield together. They were 19 and 39 years old. Also only father-son tandem to hit back to back hr's.

I'm biased towards Bonds overall better than Griffey roids or not. But Griffey is definitely right there in 2nd and we are fortunate to have been able to seen both play.
Best in the AL = Griffey best in the NL = Bonds. How bout that?
Fuck an A-rod or a Manny Ramirez or a David Ortiz, BONDS+GRIFFEY = Greatest of our Era.
