Grats to Griffey on 600...a guy who hit back to back home runs with his father, a guy who single-handedly resurrected hope in Seattle, and if it were not for a moderate set back in his eaerly Cincinnati days...would likely be HR king even ahead of Bonds.
Griffey will go in to the HoF first ballot. He's a class guy who is free of steroid talk for the most part and it's fair to speculate he wasn't involved even though the question will be raised by some due to the nature of the era.
However, he isn't blemish free...Ken's biggest taint, which hopefully won't keep him out of the HoF, still lingers...

Yeah, I almost got kicked out of a bar once for wearing my cap backwards. Something about it being "gang related". Yes, I'm sure everyone in the place was concerned that the "Iowa Cattlemen" gang was going to come in and take over the place.
As for Griffey, he can wear his hat backwards, forwards, tipped to the side, bill up, inside out. I really don't care. The guy is a class act in a sport that needs it after all the cheating that went on over the last decade. |

It's a shame Griffey had all those injuries.
He's a far more deserving candidate of the allt-time record than Bonds.
That being said, there's something a little unfortunate about the words "Ken's biggest taint" being strung together. |

"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin |

That would have to be former Orioles closer Gregg Olson. |

Yeah, it was kind of joke...like, the worst they've got on him is really probably that one, meaningless controversy.
At any rate... |
