Hey Jaydawg,

Baseball needs Griffey more than ever. I hope he stays healthy this year because he shows what this is all about. He has been snotty at times, too, but The Kid is the kind of icon Barry could've been.

In a small way, I feel bad for Barry. What a miserable way to go around, despite all the money, thinking you just aren't popular enough. This seems to contradict his antagonistic attitude toward the press all of these years, but it's clear (steroid pun intended) that he let the ego get in the way of his marvelous accomplishments.

I hope, and Rob take note of this, that Baseball Geeks can start promoting the good guys (as far as we can tell) so that we can all appreciate the great game instead of wallow in its negative side.
