Question Is Ken Griffey Jr's 600 more impressive than others

Considering the steroid era we've endured over the last decade and more, would you consider Griffey's numbers to be held in higher regard then that of Barry Bonds, Mark Mcgwire, Sammy Sosa and the rest of those dopers? Cause if so...WHY THE HECK ISN'T KEN GRIFFEY JR. GETTING THE LOVE?

Yea, just knowing that Griffey is clean makes me appreciate it so much more than the others.

Watching Griffey hit 600 was one of those, "What if?" moments. What if Griffey was never plagued by injuries? He'd be on 850.

Since he was clean during that era, it makes it so much more significant. I think he'll go down as one of the Top 20 to ever play the game.

Yeah, i wish he would have never gotten hurt. Then we would never have really heard about bonds breaking the all time mark. Griffey was at a pace faster than anyone, until those injuries stopped him.

I think he is done with his career, he is getting old and doesn't have nothing more in his gas tank. But he did have a great career, in my books he is a legend!

No way is he done. I think he has a good 5 years left in him. I'm sure he'll be going over to an AL team to DH soon, that should prevent all the injuries (hopefully) and perhaps extend his career a little longer..
