    This is absolutely hilarious. Its crazy that Jr. is 40 now and I guess his age is catching up to him. Even when hes at work...


    Hes always been a class act, so you can't help but just laugh at this

    he's had his great career shortened because of constant injuries. he could have been the best we've ever seen. i'll cut him some slack. :)

    This will likely be his last year. Griffey's return to Seattle was great for the fans. He never should have left in the first place.

    He slept through his years with the Reds, so I can't say I'm surprised.

    No fan of baseball, but always liked Ken Griffey Jr.

    After he retires, is he going to be considered one of the greatest of all time or just wasted potential due to injuries?

    Not wasted potential certainly since he has over 600 homeruns and a career OPS over 900. (Barely)

    He will be thought of as one of the greatest ever with an * indicating that he could have been even greater.

    I wouldn't call it "wasted" potential. To me, wasted potential is when someone doesn't succeed due to their own foolish choices and/or bad behavior (see: Llloyd, Lewis or Bias, Len). To me, Griffey is great case, along with players such as Bo Jackson or Hank Gathers, of just plain old tragically bad luck.

    He's still one of the greatest of all time. He could have been THE greatest ever if not for his injuries.
