Ken Griffey Jr., finally hit number 600 earlier this week and it just makes you think what could of been. Living in Hawaii during his Mariner days, I was able to watch a lot of his games. I don't think there was a player on the west coast kids emulated more. We tried to copy that picture perfect swing and his amazing plays in center. He was the Michael Jordan of baseball, but we all know what happened and I know I wish he could have played all his years injury free. Griffey was on pace to slaughter the record books until he left to go play in his hometown of Cincinatti and he was bit by the injury bug again and again. He seems approachable, always has a huge smile on his face and is the polar opposite of Barry Bonds. I dont think I have met anyone that did not enjoy watching him in his heyday Congratulations Ken, heres the video if you missed it.
