While I don't think that Griffey is anywhere near the jerk that Bonds is and also agree that I wish he was the one that broke the record, I am not sure he is such a class act. Did you not see the throat slash move he made to a Reds broadcaster earlier this week? Oh and then his yell of FU in front of the crowd and the kids that adore him? I used to think he was a class act, but over the years of being a Reds fan, up to and including the incident I just mentioned, he has changed my mind.
And he will be in the HOF and deservingly so.
