Is Ken Griffey Jr. done?


Not long ago, Ken Griffey Jr. was baseball's brightest star, popular enough to be selected to the All-Century Team at age 29. Now, after three checkered seasons in Cincinnati, some folks think his career is all but over.

Many expected him to zoom past Hank Aaron's career home run record, but now some folks think he shouldn't even make the Hall of Fame.

We want to hear what you think. Vote in the poll below, submit your answers, and see how your opinions stack up with those of the other citizens of SportsNation.
