I am 43 years old, a Twins fan, Kirby Puckett was my guy growing up. But, to this day, I say Ken Griffey Jr. is the greatest baseball player Ive ever seen

[@LPT12.]

Go Twins!

[@ChakaForReal]

Go Twins! Kirby Puckett is my dad’s favorite ball player ever. Tragic that we lost him so young

[@jamieeaton7839]

I agree love them both! But Griffey Jr was the best player I ever seen as well!

[@MegaFuncrusher]

Ken Griffey was that dude. I remember sitting and eating cereal before school, watching his highlights every morning on Sportscenter.

[@wizardoferror9942]

There will never, EVER, *EVER* be another Ken Griffey Jr.

[@tylert4170]

I concur

[@deinly1]

This is what you get when your Dad is a great ballplayer, and you have a pure joy and excitement for the game. Not to mention phenomenal genetics to be tall, naturally strong, fast, and graceful as well. Oh, and an all-around nice guy, to boot. There are a lot of all-time greats in MLB, but none can match Griffey when offense and defense are considered. Best swing in history uncontested.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

Him and ichiro are the 2 greatest of all time. Not just as players, but as men as well.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

My favorite player of all time. Amazing with the glove and the sweetest swing ever.

[@kevinarthur8488]

The tiger stadium catch may be the most athletic catch I’ve ever seen… But I gotta admit there’s nothing more iconic then when his hat pops off his head after a ridiculous catch. Just looks so damn cool!

[@user-sg6ot3sc7e]

I played knothole baseball with Craig Griffey around the early to mid ‘80’s & Jr. played an age level just ahead of us in the same community. And let me tell you all that Jr. could’ve EASILY been another Babe Ruth or Ohtani. In knothole Jr. played outfield or first base, but he could’ve been a PHENOMENAL pitcher as well ! He was a MAN amongst boys at the junior high school age level ! It’s no surprise AT ALL to me that he had a Hall of Fame career ⚾️

[@davidcarbone3385]

A great athlete! Never implicated in using steroids and reportedly was not much of a person to even work out with weights. I have a rectangular baseball card from his rookie season I think, with his electronic signature; was the first hologram baseball baseball card.

[@mikelliteras397]

Pure joy playing, sometimes too hard for longevity’s sake. Stealing the ball from his dad was a trip, playing with his dad was awesome. The only thing as fun to watch as his defense, was his sweet swing.

[@apmartini70]

What an athlete. Did anyone ever have as much fun as Griff Jr. playing pro ball?

[@jadeduh4555]

Yes

[@YankeesPanda205]

Puig Dodgers ‘15

[@paintedwarrior516]

Miguel Cabrera for sure

[@YankeesPanda205]

@@paintedwarrior516 ah yes Miggy always with a smile :)

[@hateusernames2]

One of the greatest of all time in both offense and defense

[@TrollinNolin95]

Offense absolutely. Defense? No. He was good but the greatest defensive outfielder of all time was Andruw Jones. That said, I’m taking Griffey every time based on his bat even if he was awful in the field I’d take him as a good bat is always more valuable.

[@tylert4170]

He was the no fly zone before j-rod was born

[@SpeedeeC1999]

I hope JRod can figure out his offense because there's so many beautiful similarities between the two

[@TrollinNolin95]

Not even close bud 😂

[@SenorTortas]

TIL MLB Vault is the actual throwback channel of the MLB. If only they could learn how to market it like the NFL...

[@dannyschoe4874]

As a reds fan ( 39 years old) the day he was traded to the reds was the greatest days as a sports fan in my life.

[@TrollinNolin95]

My guy, you were alive to see the Reds win their last WS but them signing Griffey past his prime tops your list? 😂

[@dannyschoe4874]

@@TrollinNolin95 I didn't remember much of the reds winning I was 5 when they won. So yes without a doubt Griffey coming here was number 1. And defenitly was still in the middle of prime. He had a great 1st year next year and a few other years got hurt lol

[@Gigityson]

My favourite player wen I was a teen playing baseball first player to wear his hat backwards at all stars game

[@user-ds5ow9zk3v]

He could flat out go get it⚾️⚾️

[@luckilew]

My favorite player of all time.

[@mickeylocklear9357]

GOAT..

[@TrollinNolin95]

Offensively yes.

[@davidarellano870]

Has to be the best player I've seen since going to games in 1970

[@Shinobi33]

The KID. Still cool

[@Smokeyboss760]

I love the kid

[@marcusanderson933]

The Kid! ⚾️

[@ROIDEDCAPS7868]

5:30 I WONDER WHO HAS THOSE 380 PADS ARE THEY IN THE HOF

[@kw3674]

Best darn ball player you’ll ever see

[@TrollinNolin95]

Not when you quantify what he did.

[@aubreydubb]

Watch closely at 2:24 another ball appears by his feet, coincidence?

[@MrPoloseason]

do Andruw Jones next

[@JordanClark-cd9fl]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHuUcmeBiMaYbK8feature=shared

[@TrollinNolin95]

Best defensive outfielder ever

[@AABB-bm9kk]

Gonzo is another who needs some homers stolen from him No doubt Junior knew when and how to jump to catch ‘em ✌️

[@timberry9164]

How you gonna leave out the broken wrist catch from '95 though? Major L for whoever made this highlight reel

[@rogeliomijaresduc6686]

Very Bad english.. your titre !
