Grif-like again

Ken Griffey Jr. has returned to rare form. He's swing and composure resemble the Griffey of old who take a pitcher yard with the best of them. Slugging .301 with 35 homeruns and 92 RBIs the star-studded centerfielder is back with avengeance in 2005. His stint with the Reds in recent years have been tragic due to frequent season ending injuries. The man has made some unbelievable catches in his day even if he did get injured by doing so. He was put on the DL this week, but is listed as day to day. Now ranked 12th, tied with Mickey Mantle on the all-time homerun list with 536 homeruns Ken has got to feel good about his accomplishments. There is a possibility that he could break Hank Aaron's homerun record. The issue of his health and endurance is a question for this to happen. It would be a mountain to climb, of course for him or any other active player. It's good to see the Griffey of old return to baseball. If he plays his cards right, he'll still have a long, lucrative career. With his astounding statistics and career highlights Ken Griffey Jr. will be a shoe in for the Hall of Fame.
