power in the literal sense
He was a superstar ten times over in his prime
He was far from underrated. I was more shocked at his falloff soon as he left Seattle.

There’s levels to this you goon.
As prolific as Griffey was, nobody puts him in the same power category as a Stanton or McGwire or even Dunn.

To me Mariners griffey is in that same rarified air as Cardinals Pujols and Mariners Arod. Amazingly patient hitters that can pull the ball either way and hit for contact and power.
He wasn’t Barry Bonds strong though.
Seriously tho... My dad, who played in college, used to say that it wasn't his power but it was his swing.
shyt was so smoove.
Who is underrating the raw power of a guy who (cleanly) hit it out of the park 630 times?
Do I have to explain the difference between hitting 370 foot homers and 470 foot homers?Who is underrating the raw power of a guy who (cleanly) hit it out of the park 630 times?
Or is it obvious?
Dunn wasn’t even in the same area code as a player as Griffey.Dunn

But Dunn’s raw power was far greater.
Actual baseball fans know he hit tape measure blasts though.
Hey look, if you wanna argue that Griffey was widely and primarily known for hitting 500 foot bombs like McGwire, then so be it.Actual baseball fans know he hit tape measure blasts though.
We can just disagree on that public perception.
