Before I even watch the video, I'll answer. So good that despite being injured like 35% of the time, he finished with 630 homeruns and 10 straight gold gloves. Legitimately one of the best players the game has ever seen, without question.

Career. 284 B.A W/his 600 + home rus.

Dude, growing up, Griffey Jr was one of my favorite players. Even looking back as an adult, 90s MLB was really magical.

Even with all of the injuries, Ken Griffey Jr. is still in the conversation for greatest player of all time. Power, contact, speed, defense, baseball IQ, he had it all. Of course, staying healthy is something that every professional athlete has to be concerned with if they want to have a long career. What if? If he had stayed healthy 800 home runs? You also have to remember that his stats were overshadowed by the “steroid era”. While he was putting up 50 home run seasons, other guys were putting up 60 and 70 homers.

As A Kid Jose Canseco Was My Favorite Player, But As Soon I Hit Them Teenage Year's Barry Bonds & Ken Griffey Jr Were My Favorite.

I just met Ken last night at my job.

Take away the injuries and if he stayed in shape better Ken Griffey Jr. Would of been the greatest HR and hitter of all time.

This is amazing! I love the way documentary meets sports. Ken Griffey Jr. is not The Kid, he is The GOAT. Nice one 😆

Hilarious that this popped up on my algo right after my mariners got eliminated. Great video great editing man

Absolutely beautiful swing

My favorite player. He was amazing. All talent,no drugs,no steroids, no parting,no negative stories,no trouble on or off the field. He was just a awesome guy that played awesome baseball. You won't see someone like that play the game like he did.

Wait?? he's a pilot too!!?? I'm down in the Kissimmee/Orlando area and I have a plane here as well. Now I need to listen for him to see if he's on the radio. I wonder if he keeps his plane up at Orlando Executive or somewhere else. How cool is that. I still have his Upper Deck Rookie card in a hard case upstairs.

Great video!

My family mlb team is the mariners and Griffry jr. was my favorite player.🙂 Sadly, the same year that he retired, was the sudden death of Dave Niehaus.😇 He is now a mariners spirit.

How Good best I have ever seen and I’ve watched a lot of baseball

The title should say how great was he actually

So Good an MLB team had him batting 4th and starting CF at 19

If only he'd have left Seattle for a winner. Be remembered differently

Seattle loves him. Baseball is a different game, we respect him. Without JR T-Mobile park doesn’t exist

The GOAT!

For the cars in, the car ad, "you can't them."!!!!!!

Nice

Going to Cincy was a HUGE mistake

Ken Griffey jr went h.a.m. on some baseballs in his prime.sucks he got injured and also went to Cincinnati.mariners would def won a ring had he stayed!!!

Jr was the player that other big leaguers would pay to watch play!

Only thing that keeps him from being the GOAT , is not having 3000 hits . Injuries really took a toll on his career

In fairness, there will never be a single GOAT of baseball. Some were great at certain things, others were great at other things, some played at different time periods, etc. But I think we can all agree that Griffey is absolutely one of the best players to ever play.

I lost respect for Griffey when he didn't laugh at Norms O.J. joke.

Everything after his trade to the Reds is irrelevant and deserves to be forgotten. Griffey was already a Hall of Famer with his time with the Mariners and will always be a Mariner. His time as a Red/White Sox was a stain on his career.

I didn't watch the video but , I'm commenting on the thumbnail title ; I don't know what his final numbers were but to watch him play (especially defense) you'd think you were watching Mays or Clemente. He outright robbed guys of home runs it seemed every game.

Some of the best catches (at least 4 HR robbed) and throw outs. I'd say the best all around outfielder. Only Bo had the degree of athleticism but Ken was much smoother.
