With career homer no. 587 last night Ken Griffey Jr. moved into 6th place passing Frank Robinson on the all-time homerun list. Going 4-for-4 with an RBI to help the Reds defeat Atlanta 10-3. Griffey hit his 24th homerun of the season. He's only 15 homers behind Sammy Sosa for his career. What a sensational year the All-Star centerfielder is having! The kid is back!
Before the end of the season he will have over 600 homeruns. There is no doubt in my mind that the superstar slugger will eventually be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Everyone wonders what if for all those years he was injured...well he's still putting up impressive totals despite the number of games he's played. He's just in his mid-30s and looks to have several more seasons left in him.
I'm glad to see extra attention being placed on Griffey instead of all on Bonds because credit and recognition should be given where it's due. The Reds may stink this year, but it's not because of him. Ken is way on his way to more milestones in his career.
