my god lad, there's probably a hundred or more better ball players than Griffey that played before he was born.

Make a list if you really think that. Also, if he doesn't have the best deep ball swing ever, name someone who does.

Not that I necessarily think Griffey is the greatest ballplayer of all time, but there really were very few ballplayers who were 5 toolers like Griffey that could do everything as well as he could. Before his nagging injuries, he hit for power (before his injuries, he was well on pace to crush Aaron's HR record), average (even with his injuries, he hit a career .284), was a 10x gold glover with an absolute cannon, and was fast.
By the numbers, Willie Mays was better, but I know people can make an argument for Griffey Jr.
