Simply the Best

"I'm so evolved, I'm so involved, I'm showing growth...I'm so in charge..."

Jay-Z - Kingdom Come

It's September and as the leaves begin to change color, and fall into giant piles along the sidewalk...the baseball season will also soon change, as teams gear up for the division and pennant races.

Homecoming King

The New York Yankees are headed to the post season after missing the playoffs last year, and with one more victory they will clinch their berth. Last night they were denied in a 7-1 loss...and with one sweet swing, Ken Griffey Jr, blasted a 3-run home run into the right-field stands postponing the Yankees inevitable celebration.

With the homer Junior now has 16 on the season and 627 for his illustrious career...he sits in 5th place on the all-time list behind Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Barry Bonds.

I was watching a game the other night where they showed a very interesting stat...HR's against the Yankees...although Manny Ramirez was atop the list with like 55 homeruns against the Bronx Bombers, Griffey Jr was in second with about 35...It's amazing to me to see this guy still going strong after all the injuries...He's the Grant Hill of Baseball.
