I think Speaker, Wagner, probably Hornsby are all better than Griffey.

I love Griffey. That swing was something to behold in his heyday. It even looks perfect in video games. Also, Griffey would be the single season HR king if it weren't for that lockout that one season he was on pace for like 70 HR's....fuck all the roided out tools that ruined the 90's game.

Side note.....I have my doubts about the cleanliness of Mr. Poo Holes in STL. My bet is that at some point, something went in his body that wasn't supposed to.

Heck, Ty Cobb said Shoeless Joe Jackson had the most natural swing he'd ever seen.

ty cobb never say griff play though. cobb also hated blacks.

the thing about the 10s and 20s and 30s, though, alex, was defense was super weak. if a fielder had a .900 fielding percentage, he was considered the best of the best.

and we all know ken griffey jr will never ever be matched when it comes to his centre fielding prowess.
