Ken Griffey Jr. Deserves More Credit

From “Brahsome:” As most of us are all in our mid to late 20s, Ken Griffey, Jr was one of our favorite players growing up. The kid was the original phenom of our generation.

There was no shortage of great players in the late 80s and early 90s (Boggs, Mattingly, Gwynn, Strawberry) but Junior was the face of the new generation.

He was the next big thing, and didn’t disappoint. But, now, as he stands on the brink of 600 HR and immortality, he’s getting no fanfare.

What’s up with that?
