Talk:Griffey Surpasses Mickey Mantle on All Time Homerun List/@comment-93339-20060405112344

Still, Griffey will have to again produce like he did in his prime though before his career can be compared to Mantle&quot;s. Mantle had three seasons (1956,1957,1961) that were arguably better than Griffey&quot;s best year (1997). Also, thanks to injuries, Griffey has lost his defensive value and become a liability in the field here at the latter stages of his career.
