i'll weigh in on griffey as being the greatest non-steriod of today.
and for the one person in america who thinks he's a user...
WTF???
he's the exact same size he's been for a long time.
alright, he's a little larger than when he came into the league at 19 yr old.
he grew up.
men do that.
he didn't go up 42 hat sizes like Barely Bonds.

of recent history,
it's hard to say anyone was better than hammerin' hank.

and for the future...
keep your eye in the reds' outfield.
adam dunn is a freak of nature.
he doesn't juice.
he doesn't have to.
he's a monster playing a man's game.
someone on the espn staff predicted a 700 HR career for him.
it he sticks around, it'll happen.
he's in his 4th full season.
(he played 66 games in 2001)
he's got 151 HRs in 613 games played.
that's 1 HR every 4 games.
at that rate, he'd need almost another 15 yrs.
that's a looong time to keep up 40 / yr.
not sure if he'll get there,
but it'll sure be fun to watch.
and every time he gets to 50
is one year he can hit 30 and stay on pace.
(he's projected for 47 this year,
but he leads the majors with homers after the break,
so it could be more)
