Baseball has been good to both Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey Jr. Sure neither veteran owns a World Series ring yet they will be able to boast when the reach 600 career homeruns. They will move up the all-time list past legends such as Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, and Lou Gehrig. They're both have kind a season. Sosa returned to his old team, the Texas Rangers who were one of the few teams willing to take a chance on him the off season.
At the moment the Reds and Rangers are scuffling a bit in their respective divisions. By the All-Star break both teams will be lucky to be close to .500 or make a small dent in the standings. Ken Griffey Jr. is also nearing another career mark as the only player ever to hit all homers in all MLB ballparks.
Rumors claim the Reds are completing trading Griffey to gain more sharp pitching in the rotation. Although they need the pitching I don't think it would be a wise move. His presence alone in the lineup is a big advantage for the club. Who knows what records or highlights Griffey and Sosa will attain at the season's end?
