What an amazing career Ken Griffey Jr. has put together and it's only getting better. Last night against the Twins Junior broke out the whooping stick and hit a homerun in consecutive games. The long ball hit Thursday night in a 3-2 loss was historic as Griffey moves up the all-time leaders list at 610 and counting. He passes by Sammy Sosa. The veteran, one of a kind slugger has moved up to inhabit their no. 4 spot on the homerun list. If the White Sox know what's best they have Griffey Jr. donning a Sox jersey on the field and in the lineup as often as possible. All the skeptics who think the former All-Star can't cut it anymore still don't know what he's capable of because trust me he might not a 'Kid' anymore, but he still has the pop.Beyond explicable explanation the White Sox lost two in a row to the Twins in a fierce AL Central playoff race after Griffey Jr. slugged 2 homeruns with RBIs. How can a team falter with a dynamic impact from a superstar, eventual Hall of Fame Great? I'm just glad Junior got the heck out of Cincy, where the team was going no where. He deserves the opportunity to be in the playoffs, in the lime light again to let his fans know he can still put on a show. The only thing he needs to avoid is making running, diving catches or leaping into the outfield wall. There is no need to cause injuries, he's had more than his share in his career. A playoff run will only add to his legacy, making his late career more satisfying and memorable. Come October if Griffey Jr. isn't presence it will be a crying shame.
