The wait is over!!! Ken Griffey Jr. hit a two-run shot in the first inning of Monday night's game in Florida, his 600th homerun of his career. Nine days had passed since Junior hit No. 599 a week ago Saturday against the Braves.
A knee injury limited Griffey in Philadelphia to just one start, but despite not getting a homerun in the team's first seven games of their eight-game road trip the veteran slugger has six hits in 14 at bats and has drawn nine walks.
Now the monkey is off his back Junior can just go out and play. Unfortuantely the lingering knee problems may not go away as easily.
