Albert Pujols and Ken Griffey Jr. compared over their first 1500 games
14 comments
Albert was the best hitter of his generation and probably in top five hitters of all time. We know this.
This is a testament to how Pujols became an elite hitter immediately in the majors. Griffey’s prime (eg around 1993-2000) was also ridiculous but as with most mortals, he took a few years to get there. Albert will always be the mang
Would Albert be a HoFer if he had more stolen bases?
Albert, you don’t need to share your stat comparisons. We know you were good. You’re going to be a first-ballot HOFer. I will say that Griffey won 10 Gold Gloves and played center field. That’s not really known as a slugger’s position. But some of these HOFers who played CF were among the best ever (Griffey, Mantle, Mays). This is why I have said for years that the average WAR for CF should not be the standard for election. It’s skewed by the three aforementioned. It’s time to elect Andruw Jones, Carlos Beltran, and Kenny Lofton.
Griffey was such a stud. My favorite non-Cardinal. I saw his 500th at Busch on Fathers Day. The place went absolutely nuts
All I’m getting from these things is that Albert couldn’t beat any of there guys in stealing bases.
Albert won two World Series. Why does it have one championship? Am I just reading it wrong?
My buddy was a ball boy for the cardinals. He said the only player that ever locked their locker with his own lock, in the four years he was there, was Ken Griffey jr.
What is with this Albert comparisons recently?
He’s the best pure hitter of the 2000s era, and arguably the best right handed bat we’ve ever seen. I highly doubt we see anything like it in our lifetime again. A guy mashing that much, that consistently, for a full decade? Yeah, not happening
Best swings from either side of the plate
Why does it say 1 championship? He was on the 06 and 12 teams that won the series
Albert really was that dude
And it would have been 10 time all-star if Bob Brenly didn’t take half of his team to Milwaukee in 2002.

At least that’s what it felt like.
Albert is still criminally underrated.
