Ken Griffey Jr. MARINERS HALL OF FAME SPEECH Jay Buhner flips him off, gives him the middle finger 

No there’s officially no bigger compliment on the planet. There can’t be ❤

Show's true friendship almost like brothers. Class act

Yea and is OWED an apology by Many for being blasted for his injuries and upkeep because unlike everyone else he wasn't using enhancement drugs!!

Jamaal Shelton More like he owes us fans an apology for paying his salary for 7 rotten seasons in Cincinnati...HE SUCKED And was injured all the time...He should have retired when he was 30 because he was washed up by then anyway.

you dont know he didnt do it and just didnt get reported!!

Michael Leite LOL, ur an idiot his career went down hill because he DIDNT use performance enhancing drugs, had he used them he would have ended his career playing in top form. But he decided to play a "clean" game so age injuries got the best of him

***** Like it's his fault he got injured.

I can't think of another one that bests that one. Truly honored him with that one line.

yes

No, the greatest swing belonged to Darryl Strawberry. Junior had his head on straight, though.

Mene Tekel hand down the best swing of all time

Hell yeaaaaaaaaa

Greatest stance*

the people's baseball player

👍 grew up watching Ken Sr. along with Pete Rose... Glad to see Jr accomplish much in MLB

Same buddy! Haha 90$ Ms fan in Pennsylvania!

No, he wasn't he actually was an arrogant jerk.

Yeah he was following his heart though I always wished he’d have always realized it was in Seattle he was his happiest and stayed but you only have one career and he’d always have a regret of not being a Red

@@alwillk I get you it could be the fact he grew up in a household where being amongst the best players in the world had a part in it like Bonds and I was kind of annoyed at his attitude about signing autographs and the stories of fans who meet him in person and walk away heartbroken; while still young he was being touted as the anointed one who would be the face of baseball though the real man was far from the image baseball tried to make him be

Those injuries saved his career from any suspicion

i give u that

No please do not associate Jr with roids that he didn’t use is a big reason why I admire him immensely above any other MLB player

Besides Sadaharu Oh

+TheCodedtestament Agreed. I'm a Giants fan and grew up worshipping Bonds and Griffey. Even though I should be happy that a Giant is the home run king, I wish it had been Griffey instead. It would not have been tainted.

He would have been the goat.

If it hadn't been for roids, you mean

Funzo he didn’t do roids because he’s in the hall of fame

Easily

you dont know that at all

Michael Leite True. It's nothing more than an educated guess on my part. In today's "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" society, there will always be plenty of doubters. But for now, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt: Small guy who just-so-happened to have an amazing swing and a great glove.

We all know racism exists in a lot of people. It’s across all races but we aren’t racist like the media try’s making it out to be. I have black friends and we all respect each other the same and get mad at each other the same . Have had alot arguments with them and not once did any of us bring up race. Just what we was mad about or whatever the issue was. What I can say as that at the end of the day when push cokes to shove regardless right or wrong, they have my back and I have there’s. That’s what friends do . We as a society can do better and it takes U.S. average people To stop this hype that the media is portraying. Until we as nation and individuals take back our country from these damn liberals trying to destroy our country and the fabric of this nation otherwise we are on a path of destruction that’s only going to get worse.

You mean when you don't blame all your failures on white people...

John Doe 💯💯💯

It gives me hope that one day we will wipe out that racism crap from our country.thank you

+Keroro Taichou Edgar was and is the best DH to every play the game.

+win edgar has superior numbers to ortiz except for homeruns and rbis as far as i can tell

+win still better career numbers

oh wow, I was wondering who that was! lol

Ortiz is a juicer so who cares what his numbers are.

on pizza commercials

Keith Carlson WHAT?!?! HE WENT TO COOPERSTOWN!

ya right bonds was a beast befor roids 500 500 club thats all i have to say

metzgermeisterfuchs sheffield had a good one too

Not necessarily in that order. Griffey is in good company. That's all.

***** That's one of the most ignorant statements I have read in a while. Ty Cobb would have been an amazing hitter in today's game. Here is my evidence. Ty Cobb lead the league in batting average 12 seasons. TWELVE. Do you know what the average MLB batting average is today? .253. In 1910 the league average was .249…Want to know what Ty Cobb batted that year? .388. Ty Cobb would have access to the same weight training, muscle rehabilitation therapy, and nutritionists as today's players if he had played today. Hell, under those conditions he might have batted .400 multiple seasons in today's game. I rest my case.

***** I've seen his swing. It looks a lot like that of Tony Gwynn. Listen, Ty Cobb played in the middle of the dead ball era. He wasn't trying to hit home runs. No one could hit home runs back then. The ball parks were enormous, and the balls wouldn't fly. That said, with that supposedly junky swing of his he lead baseball in home runs in 1909. Your notion that batters back then only hit slow fastballs is ridiculously misinformed. The spitball wasn't banned until 1920. By then Cobb had played 15 seasons in the big leagues. He faced all types of wicked junk that guys today are not allowed to do with the ball. Would Cobb have been a power hitter in today's game like Griffey was? No. But I maintain that he would have hit .400+ in multiple seasons. His coordination was superior in that respect.

In 1910 MLB hitters batted .249 collectively. The only guy batting close to .400 was Ty Cobb who hit .388 that season. I don't know what else you want to hear. The numbers support my argument.

Cobb would not be hitting .400 in any seasons today. There is a reason why it's so hard for players to do that in today's game... you're forgetting two VERY important things... First: starting pitchers back then would pitch complete games very often ... so Cobb would have the luxury of seeing the same pitcher 4-5 times in a game. So would everyone else in the league and they didn't hit as good as Cobb (you might say)... true, but you have to remember, I'm not saying Cobb isn't a good player and wouldn't hit over .300 in today's game. PLUS other guys were hitting .400 back then, so yeah. Second: Today's game has specialty pitchers.... David Ortiz's stats would be LEGENDARY if he was able to face a right handed pitcher (or even just the same pitcher for that matter) for 4-5 AB in a game. And although Cobb's average vs. lefties is well above .300, it's still less than vs. righties, and Cobb very rarely had to worry about hitting in the 7th inning against a specialty left handed pitcher after facing a right handed starting pitcher. One other thing too: There have only been two other guys to have hit over .400 since 1925... don't you think that's not a coincidence? It is harder to be a hitter in today's game. Which I guess is what my argument is all about... because I do know that Cobb is an amazing player and belongs in the list of names above.

They did

Lol.

Ok, he was injured and doesn't have the record though...

Josh Sheffield The point was, he was the only one putting up big numbers, from talent. Bigger numbers than the people cheating.
