Ken Griffey Hits 600th
Edited on Tue Jun-10-08 09:39 AM by erpowers
Last night Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 600th home run becoming only the sixth MLB player to do so. Some would say Griffey is one of only three or four players who accomplished the feat without using any performance enhancing drugs in that two of the six players to his 600 home runs(Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa) are believed to have used steroids and HGH in order to accomplish that feat. There have in recent years been rumors that Babe Ruth may have tried or attempted to try using animal testosterone; however those rumors cannot be confirmed. The only other MLB players to hit 600 home runs are Hank Aaron and Willie Mays.

1. Congatulation to Ken Griffey, Jr.
It's a testament to his dad that we still call him "Jr.", although he's really the better player.

2. He's an amazing player.
I don't much care for baseball... but that guy's got talent and class like nobody else in the game.

3. You wonder how many homers he might have if he
weren't injured so often during his career.

However, you have no proof Junior didn't use anything.
