Griffey HR/AB 1/15
Bruce HR/AB 1/22
Griffey K/AB 1/5.5
Bruce K/AB 1/4
So far, Bruce is having an amazing career- all one week of it. I mean Josh Hamilton has a shot at 190 Rbis this season and Chipper Jones to bat .400 but those are premature objectives much the same as Bruce getting 600 dingers. When you look at the number of people who have played the game and how many have achieved set milestones well its mind boggling. Griffeys ratios are big in comparision with Bruce, and those are just the bare basics. Think of how many homers Griffey would have if he stayed healthy, but thats a big IF. What IF Ted Williams never went to war? We will never know.
But we do know only FIVE players in the hisory of Major League baseball which dates back to late 1800's for statistics, only five men who ever suited up for a professional Big league ballgame have ever hit 600 or more home runs. And while Jay Bruce has looked marvelous in the 8 games he's played in the bigs with 3 homers already under his belt at the ripe age of 21. He has a looooooooooooooooooooooong way to go before we start making predictions of grandeur and immortality.

This is quite possibly the most retarded thread ever created in the history of the internet.
One of, if not the(in some eyes), greatest natural home run hitter of ALL TIME, versus a 2 week old rookie.
Whatever combination of drugs you are on must be good, because you're mind is MESSED UP.
