Join the 600 Club
It has been some time since this story first ran but we wanted to make sure and recognize the former Seattle Mariner as Ken Griffey JR joined the exclusive 600 home run club. It seemingly has been a long time coming for the once powerhouse hitter but we always like to give respect where it is due as his 60oth homer soared 413 feet into the right field seats.. A seasoned 38 year old player that surely has a love for the game of baseball Griffey is just the sixth player to reach 600 homers and even though it took longer then expected it surely is a feat for any MLB player.
Griffey will now be remember with the limited number of players to reach this mark including Mark Henderson, Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sammy Sosa. Griffey even reported receiving recent phone calls of encouragment for Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. It had been somewhat of a struggle after injuries began taking their toll on the once prolific slugger but through his battle to hit number 600. And although not necessarily defined by his homers altogether he has been recognized for many aspects in his baseball career. This defining moment even brought talk of ending his career back where most had begun for the super star back in Seattle.
