He was the best pure hitter I ever saw. Nothing but quality genes (Ken Griffey Sr) and natural talent in an era tainted by PEDs.

He was a class act. I bought his rookie baseball card many years ago thinking he would eventually break Hank Aaron's record. It didn't happen, but he had a great career. I wish he held the record rather than Bonds or some other baseball player on juice, but that's life. At least he has the respect of the public and will quickly get into the Hall of Fame.

Griffey Jr. was definitely a natural at the plate. He made some great catches, including some wall climbers, but some of those contributed to lost playing time due to injury. He could still play somewhere, if he wanted to.

Not in the MLB. I've been a big fan of his but the Mariners were just being nice keeping him around this year, he's just too old and can't hit anymore.
