The Kid is Alright
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 2nd HR of the season tonight. He's also drawn a walk and scored. With 483 HR, Griffey isn't out of the Aaron record derby. He needs a monster year this year (50+ HR), and then he needs to stay healthy until he's forty. He laid down a great foundation for reaching 755 in his teens and twenties. But he's spent that capital now, and will have to have an Aaron like finish to his career to catch Hammerin' Hank.

Two homeruns and you're already tossing him back into the Aaron race? Come on. He'll be lucky to hit 600.

he's just as likely to end up on the DL in two weeks' time
Assuming he stays healthy, by the time he hits 700 you'll have to write on how he is chasing Barry Bonds. heh.
