I don't like how most fans assume all players are steroid users, but I understand why. I REALLY don’t think Ken Griffey Jr. used steroids.

How do we know if Pete Abe is clean? The fact is you'd like to think that someone like Griffey did it the right way. He has been a great player for so many years and got unlucky with some injury. Stats kinda lean towards the fact that he didn't take steroids, but I'd like to think for the sake of the game he didn't. Also, I don't know that I could take steroids with my dad in the clubhouse!!!

Lemme try it this way... I am not a Griffey hater, but rather an admirer, and I would love to be 100% sure he is clean. (I'm not averse to schadenfreude, however -- Manny's suspension tickled me pink, and Papi's would be icing) I would be saddened, disappointed, and even surprised -- but not shocked -- if Griffey tested positive. He has plenty of points in his favor, such as the natural career arc you mentioned as well as his non-hulklike physique. But we just cannot be even close to sure. Not close. About anyone. Not Jeter, not Pujols, not Griffey. I'll leave you with a quote: "If you think any team and/or player was clean from 1990, I’d be very careful." -P.

If he's going to hang around to pad numbers and cash checks, he can at least do a few situps once in awhile. The only thing Griffey’s on now is cheeseburgers.
