Why Ken Griffey Jr should have taken steroids

Chad on 02 27, 2009

Mr. Ken Griffey Jr, you should have taken steroids. As all of your peers ravaged through mounds of steroids in hopes to be the greatest ball player of all time. Barry Bonds had a career filled with athleticism and defense, he earned eight Gold Gloves and did it presumably without steroids. As Bonds career started to hit a down slope with a future of injuries and lower numbers on the horizon, Bonds made the decision to juice. Mr. Ken Griffey Jr, you could have been the one smashing all of these records. You could have been the one to win four straight MVPs from 2001 to 2004. Instead, you sat in Cincinnati rotting away from injuries as your numbers plummeted. Even when you did play, you batted around .250 rather than your glorious days of above .300. Steroids would have been the magic answer. Steroids aren’t so bad, Mr. Griffey, think of them as little shots of happiness making your body smile. Hell, my Grandma’s been on steroids and she could have made the minors. Your career was slipping away and you could have made the decision many athletes already made, become a juicer and become LEGENDARY.

You stood by holding your head high knowing that you never cheated in the game of baseball. Every injury you had, you battled through. Every homer you hit, was hard work in the weight room. Instead, you could have been hanging with some Domician’s getting injected with some stuff, hitting the pinnacle of your career. Instead of sitting in a bucket of ice with a dingy trainer, you could have been swimming in a pool of Batting Titles and MVPs. Imagine the records you would have broken, 73 homers in a season, screw it Ken Griffey Jr just made it 91 – suck on that. Griffey has 651 career homers, roid raging Griffey would have put it at 932. Hell, you could have hit 1,000 with roids. All of this and you would still only be 40. If you gave me control over the steroids, I’d have you playing till your at least 53. I mean, you’d look like Slyvester Stallone in the latest Rocky or Rambo, and probably unable to sexually perform, but you broke a lot of records. We might be able to convince Nike to make you some kickass shoes again. Maybe we could get you back up on a cover of a video game. Think about it Griffey. You should have juiced.

    This is potentially the most moronic thing I have ever read. Get a clue buddy.
  • @Chase - I don't think you're letting your mind go free. Ken Griffey Jr could have possibly gone down as the greatest ball player of all-time. Steroids would have given Griffey that edge, in an era where steroids where all the rage (sorry had to do it) it could have passable. I mean, I would rather have been interrupted for 'Griffey Watch' to see him crank a yardbarker than Mr. Bonds. I think we can all agree to that.

    In my mind, the things he is doing in the steroid era, he is the greatest of all time. Anyone can say yes to steroids and be great, but it is even harder to say no. Let's not get greedy with ourselves and want more out of Ken Griffey Jr.'s magnificent career.

    If you cheat baseball, you get nothing out of it.

    Huh? Who's to say Griffey didn't juice? Power numbers increased during the 'roid era, suspicious injuries soon after, clubhouse full of offenders, needing to prove he was the Golden Boy, grew jowels -- common of 'roid users. A friend, in making an argument back when Bonds was breaking the HR record, pointed to two guys who he said never used 'roids -- Sosa and A-Rod. Now that it's undeniable that they did take 'roids, it's just a matter of time before Griffey is ratted out, too.
  • To Gary-Conseco ratted out players that a lot of fans loved. Jr is probably one of the most admired players to ever come to Seattle, so he probably would have come up somewhere if he juiced. I believe that most educated baseball fans understand the rarity that is Griffey and feels honored to have watched him. He is a certified great and deserves no questioning. When he got hurt he could have done the Clemens thing and used HGH to repair his body, instead he chose rehab and treatment. At the time, nobody was suspicious of things like the steroid era outside of baseball, so maybe it was an accepted means. Nobody would have noticed. There is just no evidence to support that he never juiced. sorry
