Ken Griffey Jr. Hits # 600

Well the wait is finally over. After hitting # 599 on the last home stand one wondered if Griff would sit out a few games to hit this historic home run back in Cincinnati. Well he did wait to the last game on this road trip and the Reds front office was probably hoping he would wait another day to do it. Big attendance booster for sure.

Next player in front of Griffey is Slamin Sammy Sosa with 609 and when "The Kid" does over take Sosa he will be top five all time in HR's. What a career!!!!!!!!!!

Griffey is one of the few power hitters not to be connected to steroids in this "steroids era." I do believe he is as clean as they come. Most users mention how they help recover from injuries by taking steroids and look at Griffey's injury list and time spent on the DL......I would say this would for sure make Griffey a first ballot Hall of Fame inductee.

Hey and the Reds won tonight too, that was getting about as rare as someone hitting # 600.....Great job Jr.
