Baseball is a pure team sport. Just ask Ken Griffey Jr., who played for 22 seasons but never played in a World Series. Every season Griffey Jr. crushed baseballs out of ballparks but was never surrounded by the support system he needed to get a ring.
Maybe the chase is what kept the perennial all-star going. The back half of his career was filled with injuries and clubhouse controversies. Still, he retired with 630 career home runs and had the highest percentage of votes ever to get into the Hall of Fame. Not bad consolation prizes! Terrell Owens is next, and he doesn’t want his consolation prize!
