Do you mean 659, one behind Mays? (I take it the winky-face has some significance?)

There is no way he won't be in the Hall Of Fame.Comment

The only way Griffey misses the Hall is if PED usage is discovered."It is a simple matter to erect a Hall of Fame, but difficult to select the tenants." -- Ken Smith
"I am led to suspect that some of the electorate is very dumb." -- Henry P. Edwards
"You have a Hall of Fame to put people in, not keep people out." -- Brian Kenny
"There's no such thing as a perfect ballot." -- Jay Jaffe

I'm amazed the degree to which Griffey has faded this decade.Originally posted by julusnc View Post
Griffey's career is an Ernie Banks career; a stellar 1st half, coupled with a just-hanging-on 2nd half. People have really forgotten how great Griffey was in his best Seattle years."I do not care if half the league strikes. Those who do it will encounter quick retribution. All will be suspended and I don't care if it wrecks the National League for five years. This is the United States of America and one citizen has as much right to play as another. The National League will go down the line with Robinson whatever the consequences. You will find if you go through with your intention that you have been guilty of complete madness."
NL President Ford Frick, 1947Comment

What I find interesting about Griffey's career is that he rarely lead the league in any offensive categories. He did led the AL in home runs four times which a great total. But other than that he led the in RBI's one time, in runs one time, in slugging one time, and in total bases just twice.Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist.

Yeah, and maybe it will add guys like Mays, Mantle, and Snider? Maybe, just maybe, they belong on this list.Originally posted by Freakshow View Post
Mantle 172 career OPS+
Mays 156 career OPS+
Snider 140 career OPS+
That moves Junior down to the number 7 spot. Hack Wilson is also ahead of him at 144, but he was just under the 1300 game cutoff.Comment
