| Ken Griffey Jr | | I am a huge Reds fan but would love to see Junior go. I loved to move that brought him here and because of injuries he has not been the same Junior in Seattle. No one's fault. I'd love to see him get traded and be able to get a championship. Many Reds fans don't think he deserves to be traded. Those fans don't understand baseball. In the modern day of steriods, Junior has hit 600+ HR the right way. He deserves a championship and the Reds sure as heck won't give him one.He was never ours to begin with. His is from Cincinnati, yes, but he started his career in Seatle and had his best years there. He'll go into Cooperstown as a Mariner and as a Reds fan I'll be cheering for him the entire time. | |
| | Ken Griffey Jr. | | I have written to the Seattle Times and the Mariners and I have yet to get an answer to my question,WHY IS KENNY GETTING A HEROES WELCOME AFTER HE CALLED ALL SEATTLE FANS PSYCHO'S BEFORE HE LEFT SEATTLE?He never apologized,I'm not imagining this,my daughter remembers him saying that too.Yet Alex is still booed everytime his team plays at Safeco,the owners wouldn't even talk to him so he took Texas' offer,their owner wanted him,the Mariners obviously didn't.I'm really upset about this,what is your take on this? | |
| | What is your favorite baseball team? | | Mine is the San Diego Padres. I started off as a Seattle Mariners fan as a kid cuz I was a fan of ken griffey Jr, but I started following the Padres because I've lived in San Diego for all of my life, and after Griffey and A-Rod parted from Seattle, I stopped following the M's on a regular basis. | |
| | Who will be in the Hall of Fame? | | With the recent trades of big name players before deadline in MLB, it prompted me to think of who will be in the Hall of Fame when it is all said and done. Of the following, which ones will be in the Hall. If you say no, give a reason (not good enough, steroids, ego).Here is the list with my vote:
*Barry Bonds--Should be, but I think they will blackball him like Pete Rose
*Mark McGwire/Sammy Sosa--Should be, but won't. Baseball used them to bring the sport back and then turned their back on them. Baseball is at the alltime popularity level because of them and they knew they entire time about the performance enhancers, I'm sure.
*Ken Griffey, Jr--Yes, one of the top 5 players to ever step on the field. One of the few these days to do it the right way.
*Frank Thomas--Yes
*Manny Ramirez--Yes, one of the best hitters of all time
*Derek Jeter--Yes. No big power numbers, but a true HOFer.
*AROD--No, he will surpass Barry Bonds one day, but I think his character will keep him out.Add others that you can think of. | |
