Griffey, not even close.

Sosa had 4 very good years and one phenominal year.
But I would still take Griffey.

Griffey has always been one of my favorite players. One of the best CFs defensively of all time to go along with his offense. Oh what could have been.

Of course Junior. He was the best player in baseball in the mid 90's.

Griffey, but if I can only have one season from either career it's Sosa's 2001 season.

Sammy hit well, but Griffey hit just as well for a longer time and played amazing defense.
Why is this even a poll?

WHAT?? Bonds was good, but nowhere NEAR the level Griffey was in the mid 90s. Bonds didn't hit his prime until the 73 HR season (steroids) in terms of batting. Prior to that season, Griffey had always been the better player.
If it weren't for injuries, we wouldn't even have to worry about Bonds breaking the HR record, as Griffey would have shattered it.

As we can tell you clearly know what your talking about in this matter. To go along with Bonds having the better total clearly, Bonds has 5 seasons better than Griffey's best.
Also newsflash, Griffey's injuries didn't come in the 1990's, they were in the 2000's so what's that have to do with anything?
What's it matter when Bonds hit his "prime" according to you Bonds' non prime would still be better than Griffey's prime, pretty damn good, eh?
So WHAT?? the hell are you talking about? (It's gonna be nice when you respond and be like I don't need stats to tell me who was better I saw Griffey and he was teh doomzors.)

steve retart phillips just said on espn before that sosa is a 1st ballot HoF b/c he denied using roids..... even steven a said he was crazy - i mean sosa had a fu**in interpreter there for him when he speaks pretty decent english - just when i thought that stunt didnt fool anyone, apparently steve phillips has once again stooped to a new low (if possible?)
