his injuries were more a function of him not really working out or committing his body to being in great shape


in his time with the reds, maybe, but that's still quite a stretch. his injuries with the mariners were broken bones. no amount of conditioning would have prevented them.

I know its a huge if, but if Griffey had not had so many injuries, the home run record would be out of reach now. His swing gives me chills.


He's as natural a ball player as I've ever seen. The game just seemed easy to him, like prime Tracy McGrady in basketball.
