Why? because it is a 'pure' record. These 600 Home Runs have not been 'juiced' or 'enhanced' in any manner. Those 600 HRs are the real deal.

We should have known when he and his dad came to bat back to back as Mariners. Griffey Sr. hits a home run. Jr. next comes to bat and hits a home run! That really happened a long time ago in the Kingdome. an honorable club to be a part of. the 600 club. cool, DM 725602@blogcritics.org Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:57:34 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/22/101223.php#comment-714928 You were lucky enough to live in Seattle and see his games. I had a tougher time, living in Virginia, although I did get to see him at Orioles games. He was my hero, too. Luckily, now I have the baseball package on TV and can watch him anytime. He's in the wrong uniform, though. Great story. It inspired me to watch more Reds games. 714928@blogcritics.org Thu, 1 May 2008 21:30:32 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/22/101223.php#comment-713466 Good for ya to write his article. It is exposing the fact that there are positive people out there in sports. Not all are juiced wife beaters or anything. Griff is a cool dude and a great player. I used to take my daughter to Safeco and get those killer $5 seats in the outfield with Griff right in front of us. Good bio-rhythms, man! A plus for the community. best, DM 713466@blogcritics.org Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:33:37 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/04/22/101223.php#comment-712758 great article! I was at Griffey's return, and I too got a little emotional. "The Kid" stands for so much and is a living manifestation on the good side of baseball. Rarely did his name attatch itself with controversy or getting in trouble with the law. All of his teammates can attest to his leadership, and all of his fans can attest to his greatness. 712758@blogcritics.org Tue, 22 Apr 2008 11:42:29 EDT
