Strange to say, but younger Griffey was the better power hitter, Bonds was the better base stealer. Reverse of what the common expectation would be. When I looked at their career stats, I was surprised, Jr only stole more than 20 bases twice. That said, I'll still always remember Griffey blowing past 3rd in the 95 ALDS.

I was around 13 when Bonds was still human and a few years after Griffey broke into the majors. Bonds/Griffey was my age category's Mantle/Mays debate.

Seeking6 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just some baseball news. Cubs resign Kyle Hendricks. Theo traded Ryan Dempster and his 12 starts to Texas for 11 years worth of Kyle Hendricks. I'd say that trade has worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if I'm ready for baseball season yet but my mood will probably change tomorrow. Right now I'm in a strange position with all of my favorite teams. No more talk. Just perform and do it....and in an odd twist the team that has given me the most frustration over the last decade or so is the one I have the most confidence in (Bears).
