I wish Jr. hadn't been injured so often and I wish he had been easier to like when he was younger. But, there's no doubt that he one of the best all-around players of any era in MLB.
If he had played in NY or Boston he would be bigger than Manny or Jeter or A-Rod. I commend him for not selling out and going to either of those places and making the big publicity grab.
I heard that this morning on TV, the newscaster doing the story mentioned he is somebody not associated with the steriod scandal. If he's one of the few that did it all "clean", he certainly can be proud of this accomplishment.
On hitting your 600th Home Run last night! [Image]We assume you did not take steroids to get there. Way to go Junior! The 600 Home Run List - The Mountain Cat

He may have been chasing Bonds if he hadn't had so many injuries.

Professor Henry Jones: Junior?
Indiana Jones: Yes, sir.
Professor Henry Jones: It IS you, Junior!
Indiana Jones: Don't call me that. Please!

Around these parts when you say "Junior" there is only one person who you can be referring to.
