Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn both hit two- run home runs to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians at Jacobs Field in the finale of a three-game set.I've admired Griffey's quiet, smooth style since he came into the big leagues and was immortalized with his own Super Nintendo classic. If it weren't for injuries, we'd all be talking about how Junior Griffey beat the Babe and was catching up to Hammerin' Hank--without so much as a wiffle ball of controversy.
In the process, Griffey collected his 549th career home run, which moved him past Mike Schmidt and into sole possession of 11th place on the all-time home run list.

all hail Ken Griffey, Jr.
... for just passing Mike Schmidt's home run mark.
Can't agree more with you! It's really a shame how much injury has affected Junior over the past few years. I'm glad that the HGH and steroid controversy isn't on Junior's back the way that it is on Bonds. I just hope that Junior can stay healthy and finish out his career in his home town... maybe even win a WS in the process!
