Best Cincinnati Reds Ever: Ken Griffey Jr. v. Jonny Gomes

First Round Matchup | No. 2 Ken Griffey Jr. v. No. 15 Jonny Gomes

Griffey Jr.:

Ken Griffey Jr. was maybe the best player in baseball with the Seattle Mariners for the first decade of his Hall of Fame career. But he wasn’t too bad with the Cincinnati Reds in the next 8 1/2 years either. In his first season with the club as a 30-year-old in 2000 all Junior did was hit 40 home runs with 118 RBIs — both team highs that season by a wide margin.
