Back in June 2008, Ken Griffey joined Bonds, Aaron, Ruth, Mays and Sosa in the 600 HR club. (A-Rod got there later)
Griffey stayed away from controversy but not injuries. Wonder how many more home runs he would have hit? He hit 408 home runs in first 11 seasons with Seattle but only 222 over the next 10 years with Cincinnati, Chicago and then back to the Mariners for a season.
I remember how popular he was in the late 1990's when every kid wanted to wear #24 or Griffey's number.
