Nice Guys Finish Last.. or at Least Second Amongst Active Players

Sad:

CHICAGO — Everyone on the Reds team knew they had to have this one — no ifs, ands or buts. The alternative was just too unpleasant to consider.

…

“Everybody has been trying to do too much here,” said Griffey, who hit his 12th homer of the season and No. 605 for his career in the fourth inning. “That’s what we’ve doing all year.”

To think, this guy would be the all-time home run king today if not for injuries and the fact that cheaters prosper.

    Hey Richard, I think Grif has been a good player for the Reds and a GREAT player over all… and I agree that he got to where he is fairly without blatant drug use. I just wish we could have gotten him when he was at his peak with Seattle. He deserves all of the Cincy fans admiration and respect-for that matter he deserves all of people of MLB’s respect. When he leaves the Reds there will be a void.

    I don’t think he was at his peak in Seattle. I think he spent what would have been his prime on the DL.
