I happened to watch the movie, "61," the other day, about the year Roger Maris hit 61 home runs... and I wondered about those steroid-fueled few who have erased Maris' record (and made it meaningless). Griffey played the game honestly: he put up numbers in his youth and faded through the years due to age and injury. Junior was perhaps the last, great player of a game that seems to be fading away year-by-year just as old players do.
