Figure he would have started 290 of them and hit 4 times per game....1160 AB's.<BR/><BR/>Through the end of the 2000 Season - if my math is correct and I'm smarter than all of you so it probably is - he had averaged an HR every 14.5 at bats. <BR/><BR/>Divide 1160 (which I think it a pretty conservative number) by 16 to be even more conservative and that's another 72 jacks to his tally. <BR/><BR/>Realistically, he probably would have hit 700 the other night steroid-free.<BR/><BR/>Plus, nobody would have rooted against him the way we did for Bonds. <BR/><BR/>Race wasn't the issue, Bonds is just a punk that nobody likes.<BR/><BR/>There's nobody that deserved to break that record more than Griffey.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-21985971701700051052008-06-10T13:22:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:22:00.000-04:00In the words of the great Jay Bruce"There's only o...In the words of the great Jay Bruce<BR/><BR/>"There's only one Ken Griffey."shake'n'bakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381489530841295597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364482294646808855.post-67305005915592343662008-06-10T13:09:00.000-04:002008-06-10T13:09:00.000-04:00I lived in the Seattle Area from 1994-1997 when I ...I lived in the Seattle Area from 1994-1997 when I was in High School. Griffey will always be my favorite baseball player. He broke so many hearts when he asked to be traded to Cincy. I remember seeing my first Griffey homerun in person and the first time I seen him rob someone else of a homer. Truly one of the good guys in baseball and someone who I will teach my son about long before he ever hears the name Barry Bonds.JHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528380236847101023noreply@blogger.com
