It seems like it took forever for him to get here, but it only took one inning Monday night for Griffey to place number 600 in the right field stands. After Jerry Harriston led off the game on an infield single, he stole second and third with Griffey up at the plate. On 3-1 pitch from Mark Hendrickson, Griffey connected on a curveball, placing it neatly into the stands. Griffey, now sixth on ... [link]

Joining The 600 Club
Published 6/10/2008 by Chris at Intentional Foul
Ken Griffey, Jr, the man with what some call the perfect baseball swing, has joined an elite group after hitting his 600th home run against the Florida Marlins in the first inning last night. The group Griffey joined is so elite, only five other Major League Baseball players reside in it (and two of the five have suspect resumes). Thanks to I’mWritingSports, we have video of the momentous occasion: Now, I’ve never claimed to be much of a baseball aficionado but nevertheless, ...

Ken Griffey Hits 600 - Video

MixMakers posted 6/10/2008 from mixmakers.net

Ken Griffey Jr joined the ranks of Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa as the newest member of the 600 home run club. The Cincinnati outfielder, with a swing as smooth as silk, took pitcher Mark Hendrickson yard in the 1st inning of today’s game. Take a bow Griffey… as you’re the first slugger in our era to “cleanly” reach the milestone.

I know this a little off topic, but, I'd like to congratulate Ken Griffey Jr. on his milestone, hitting his 600th home run of his career. Griffey hit his 600th home run against the Florida Marlins in the first inning off of Mark Hendrickson. Ken Griffey Jr. is arguably one of the greatest players of our time. He has overcome so much in his 19 year career. Since 2001, he has had injury after injury

Griffey's 600th less watched, but more praiseworthy than Bonds' 756

allonthefield posted 6/10/2008 from allonthefield.blogspot.com

Griffey will never break the career home run record, but it would appear he has one major edge over Bonds that doesn't show up in the record books: he's reached 600 cleanly.
