Marty OgelvieP-Ted, for my money the Griffey Jr. 600 HR ball has tons of more value than any ball McGwire or Bonds hit.. Do they have plans on selling/auctioning the ball or simply keeping it as a souveneir?
Peter, nice to see some Steve Garvey props. Garvey was my favorite player growing up, I don't think he derserves HOF mention but he certainly deserves to be in the HALL of VERY GOOD players! I don't think he hit 300 HRs or had a .300 career batting average but he was close on both. The only major thing he did was set the National League iron man record which is impressive in its own right but shouldn't be used as a guide line for HOF entrance. Just like you mentioned, Garvey had a 7 to 8 year run where he was the best 1st baseman in the NL.. perhaps MLB.
