Good Bye Ken.

After 22 years in the Big Leagues, Ken Griffey Jr. is calling it quits. Ken Griffey may be known by the casual fan for a few things. Some people may remember him from his frustrating injury problems year after year, some may remember him for having the sweetest swing of a baseball bat to this day, and if your from my generation you obviously know Ken Griffey Jr. from his hit N64 games Ken Griffey Baseball. All joking aside, I will always remember Griffey as one of the greatest players every to put on a uniform. Griffey ending his career with 630 home runs (fifth all time) makes it no secret that if Ken could of stayed healthy he may have shattered now Barry Bonds home run record*. Ending as a career .284 and 1836 RBI's. Ken Griffey Jr. will be a shoe in for the Hall of Fame. Although this year was a rough one for Ken with the struggling at the plate and his off the field problems have made him come to a decision before the All-Star break. Non the less Ken Griffey Jr. was and will be know as one of the greatest players of all time. I will never forget what his presence has brought alone to Major League Baseball. Congrats Ken and good luck.
