Who is Griffey leaving out in his Top 5, if anyone?
Babe Ruth and Barry bonds
Barry Bonds
Bonds, ruth, maddux
I'm assuming he left off Bonds bcuz of steroids
Babe Ruth and Ted Williams
Them gold gloves in the back 🐐
Right. 90s legend.
@@44style1 right 90 baseball Barry Bond and Ken Griffey Jr
Subtle flex by a humble man 😊
@@WalkoffGrandslam very humble 🐐
Them thangs posted up hard af
Rickey is my favorite player of all time. Most home runs by a leadoff hitter.
I used to watch the A's in the early 80's as a kid and Rickey Henderson put on a show. He cld do everything except for throw. When he'd walk the anticipation from the crowd of stealing 2nd & 3rd base was something I'll never forget. He had swag and immense skill as a 4 tool ball player.
I saw em in the 90s he was lighting fast
@@phillipwilson6901he was so lethal in the lineup that you could easily forget that he was an average fielder at best. But the man had style. Even when he messed up it was exciting
Hank Aaron and Rickey Henderson, Dwight Gooden are my all-favorites
@@bioniccop40 Rickey, Darryl and Dwight were the reasons I started playing the game
Ricky is vastly underrated. Dude was phenomenal and back in the day was a stats anomaly.
What is a "stats anomaly?" Lmfao.
Ricky? Ricky Henderson is "underrated" to you lol?😂 He is in the fuc*ing HOF. Goofballs love to use that word when it doesn't apply. He is considered to be the greatest #1 spot of all time lol. Underrated....ffs
People don’t how great Ken Griffey was ... compared to Basketball & Football, baseball was getting boring especially amongst Blacks & than boom Griffey comes along & ignites & excites the sport again. Everybody wanted to be Ken Griffey
So true! Born in Jan83 and he was my favorite and most ppls our age favorite! So dope
His swing is equivalent to Jordan's fadeaway jumper.
Christopher Olson same!
True, but it was also Bonds, McGuire, etc...
Rickey has 297 home runs. Think about that. He is second in walks. He has 3,000 hits and played on four different playoff teams, two in the American and two in the National league. When he was traded back to Oakland they won the WS. When he went to Toronto they won the WS. When he went to the Mets they nearly made the WS.
You forgot all time steals leader as well
@@chrisrunyon2372 pretty sure when he retired he was the all-time leader in Runs, SBs, and Walks (until Bonds passed him)
@@robertcatania1120 yes he was
Rickey was a massive juicer. He flew under the radar because he wasn’t hitting for outrageous power numbers but he was definitely amped
You couldn’t play in that A’s bash brothers clubhouse and not be juicing.
And if you are naive enough to say “well he didn’t juice he was just a fitness freak” then you don’t really understand what steroids do for you.
They give you strength so that the 250 pound weight feels like 200. So you work out harder and longer.
Barry Bonds had 3 MVPs before the whole steroid era
nobody cares. back then the NL had weak competition for MVP
That's probably why he stalled so long at #5, he wanted to say Bonds but didn't want the backlask so he said Gibson(despite Sharpe saying no pitchers).

@@hustleman85 Nah.. he wanted an all melanin enriched lineup
@@kennethgriffin7921 And?
I like those players but Babe Ruth has to be on any list. Great pitcher before his great achievements as a hitter.
It's ok to be melanin enriched, and only name melanin enriched players... god forbid you are white and pick 5 top favourite players.. that raciss.
@Monroe B Sure melanin enriched can't hate.
@Czar in your own little world loser!
@@csar2976 shut up snowflake. Just because they're white doesn't mean they're not great. I consider griffey jr to be #2 behind babe ruth for greatest hitters of all time. #3 barry bonds #4 albert pujols, #5 pete rose
@@csar2976 Ty Cobb lifetime batting average of .367 enough said
Ricky Henderson got the kinda numbers you can break in half and make two hall of famers.
I love Griffey’s reaction to Shannon’s surprise over Henderson. “The all time runs leader?” So succinct but makes a very strong point. Scoring runs is the game
Whats a runs leader ??
@@Shel230 Ricky scored the most runs of all time that’s what that means
That doesn’t mean you are a top 5 player ever. He played 24 years. And he’s the best base runner to play this game ever. There’s guys who are drilling double the amount of homer with batting avg 40 points higher. Ricky is underrated though and has a case based on stats
@@ryanpatton93 true. I don't necessarily think he is top 5. But I don't think it should be all that surprising if he's at least in the discussion
Bonds and Pete Rose, the records they hold will NEVER be broken.
One cheated... the other gambled... like comparing apples to ahs-holes
Wish Bonds never cheated. He was HOF without the juice.
@@csar2976 Prove it.
Both not Hall of Famers
Idk, time doesn't favor anybody and records are meant to be broken. It's just a matter of time before a talented big boy with a powerful swing and great eye breaks Bonds' homerun records. Especially in this swing for the fences era. Think Trout playing in Coors.
And as for Rose, there's an argument that if Ichiro would've started his career here as opposed to Japan, he would've been the guy to break the hits record.
I actually feel the Henderson's stolen bases records will be harder to break since stealing is considered too big of a risk nowadays
Thank you for interviewing this man. My favorite baseball player ever. Converted a yankee fan from the bronx into a Mariner fan and I didn’t even know where seattle was! 😂
My man Griff Jr. I'm from B-MORE and I am a die hard Orioles fan but he is one of my all-time favorite players
Ken Griffey Jr is my all-time favorite
Griffey is a GOD to me...Will ALWAYS be my favorite player of all-time.Oh yeah,I'm a METS fan!😉
Just wondering, how was Shannon questioning Ken Griffey's choice of Rickey Henderson? Regardless of any "Rickey stories", doesn't Shannon know that Rickey led all of Baseball with lead off home runs, walks, stolen bases and Runs scored! Rickey was so good, that after all that, they still accused him of being lazy!
being righty too, imagine if he was batting lefty
I think Rickey is a bit of a surprising choice for top 5 of all baseball players. Among left fielders, I'm not sure he's better than Bonds or Ted Williams. But I think if you had to come up with a dream roster, selecting 25 guys to fill all positions plus backups, Rickey makes the list for sure.
@kure who would you replace Ricky with?
@kure that list is 4 fifths of the way perfect, except i would replace hank Aaron with Rickey or Ted Williams.
Hank was not much of a base stealer/runner in his hitting prime, despite narratives and while he won gold gloves, based on old defensive metrics and the eye test I don’t think he was a stand out defender like mays for example.
So with that considered it would just be his hitting and Williams was far superior in that department with their careers even overlapping.. and Rickey was a worse power guy but way better at everything else, base running, base stealing, defense, eye/on-base skills!
But hey that’s just my opinion, what do you think?
@@mrmacross okay but you do understand that there is no way on this earth that someone like Ken Griffey Jr is going to place someone like Barry Bonds in his Top 5 of all-time.
Ken Griffey Jr.... the reason I wanted to play as a little boy! Now the reason I coach Little League.
His list:
Hank aaron
Willy Mayes
Jackie Robinson
Ricky Henderson
Bob Gibson
Kind of a bad list. I expected an actual best player list. This is a favorite player list.
@@richarddavis5289 this is a racist list
Jr being modest and not naming himself. He's in my top 5.
Best hitter of all times Ted Williams
1) Babe Ruth(the best player of the century)
2) Hank Aaron(2nd most home runs)
3) Ted Williams(.400)
4) Willie Mays(most consistently great player)
5) Barry Bonds(most home runs ever)
Mickey Mantle, Nolan Ryan... and Jr. was too humble to include himself.
Nolan Ryan isn't even one of the top 5 pitchers of all-time.
@@joelmedvidovich9421 It depends what you think makes an all time pitcher.
@@wilburkookmeyer5804 A pitcher's job is to prevent the other team from scoring runs plane and simple. In that regard, Ryan was pretty good at doing so but there are simply quite a few others that were better than him at it.
Junior is anti Yankees after Billy Martin kicked him out the clubhouse as a kid, when his dad was a Yankee
Babe Ruth, multiple season 20 game winning pitcher and incredible hitter.
What happened to Ruth& Gehrig lol
He's too white
@@abtwopoint0 sadly that is true it’s not about the greatest of the player it’s all about the color of the skin how sad is that
@@early_crypto_investor4451 Are any players from N_gro leagues in your top 5 or top 10 players of all-time? Can most White people even name players from N_gro leagues? To me it makes little sense to revere players pre-integration when we know they were not always playing against the best.
@@Rob2380 no there not. However my top 5 of all time is Ruth , Cobb , Gehrig , Aaron, Mays. My favorite players growing up watching were Jose Canseco, Albert Belle and Kenny Lofton. My favorite player playing today is Jose Rameriez.
1. Babe Ruth
2. Willie Mays
3. Ted Williams
4. Walter Johnson
5. Barry Bonds
I like separating pitchers from hitters, it’s almost a different sport
Jr. Was my favorite player of all time.
Willie and Hank love those at 1 and 2 - i'd probably switch the order though and have Mays #1
Can't help but notice everyone on the list is of a certain color. No Ted Williams? No Sandy Kofaux? No Ty Cobb? No Pete Rose? No Babe Ruth? Obviously you're going to have leave a lot of great players out of your top 5 but none of those made it?
Brother sticking with his brothers,I ain’t mad, Griffey can have his own beliefs,I still think he was a monster
Can't help but notice MLB use to only allow people of certain color to play. Maybe there should have been more color. You know, an equal amount.
@@freddyvidz Equal amount? So talent be damned?
@@execdecision2647 That's the way it has to be... seen all those melanin enriched QBs in the NFL?.. how do you think they got there... a little change of rules here, a little added protection there... now any melanin enriched water bug can be QB in the NFL. The formula is to be applied everywhere because it worked so well in the NFL
@@execdecision2647 Lol, I meant an equal opportunity in those days.
Willie Mays is the greatest all around baseball player that ever lived.
Mike Trout
@@Dimaggio369 I'm a big fan of Trout but no way is he better than Mays. NO WAY
@kure Top 1-5. When he's healthy no one in history can match his greatness in so many facets.
Before his injuries and health started to give out on him… PRIME Mantle was better than Mays.
Rickey Henderson is the man
Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Rose, Aaron
Can’t have Ruth or Rose or Mantle
Rose?
Roberto Clemente!!!!!!
Clemente is one of the GOATS
He was better than Jackie and rickey
1)Babe Ruth 2) Ty Cobb 3) Lou Gehrig 4) Rogers Hornsby 5)Ted Williams- Real best ever list
Only white people agree with this list
@Alien Observer he’s making a point that’s what Ken was doing bru
1. Ruth
2. Mays
3. Bonds
4. Hornsby
5. Speaker
Pitchers
1. Johnson
2. Matthewson
3. Young
4. Koufax
5. Gibson
It's so hard to make a list like this. I could make 20 top 5's and still not get everyone that deserves a spot.
No Nolan Ryan? 7 no hitters? Pete Rose? Babe Ruth? Lou Gehrig? He asked the top 5 players. Not who broke the color barrier
This list wasn’t biased at all lol
Good list Ken Griffey
Lol Henderson better than Ruth and Williams? Give me a break. Seems a certain bias is present here
"HIS" personal Top-5.
That’s his list tho.
@@stackzdollaz9508 It is, but obviusly biased though. Not one Latino or white player lol.. Jackie was a great player, but better than the Babe, Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Jimmie Foxx, Mike Trout, or even A-Rod ? Please.
@@eckhardt76 it’s about players he looked up 2. It wasn’t the best players ever to him. Like I said cal Ripken is in my top 5 is he top 5 greatest ever? Nooo.
@@stackzdollaz9508 not his fav. Best all time. GOAT. So i can say top 5 greatest nba West, Nash, Bird, Stockton, Dirk n all ok? Doubt it
Jr. Has to be considered when discussing the 🐐
1.Correa
2.Springer
3.Altuve
4.Biggio
5.Bagwell
You must be a Dodgers fan
This is Griffey’s list. He can rank whatever players he wants. Its a free country
That’s his list. Everybody has their own list. They could interpret different than others. As their favorite top 5 or their top 5 of who is the best of all-time. If I was asked that question I would answer with a top 5 which would include the five tools of ability of a baseball player. That would include hitting for average, hitting for power, base running, fielding ability and throwing. I would not include any Pitchers or steroid linked players in my list. So my all time all around top 5 players to ever step onto a diamond would be:
5. Hank Aaron
4. Ted Williams
3. Ken Griffey, Jr
2. Willie Mays
1. Babe Ruth
Ken Griffey is such a LEGEND. Was always my favorite even as a Yankees fan. I would always trade for him on video games. And he never had any steroid allegations 👏👏
Im not a huge baseball guy but my top 5 players that I enjoyed watching was
Ken Griffey Jr
Gary Sheffield
Alex Rodriguez
Mike Piazza
Sammy Sosa
I gotta say 90's and early 2000's baseball was something else! Sucks it was plague with a bunch players on steriods tho
steroid era was like the WWE Attitude era, crazy and illegal AF but it was fun to watch
@@sammymorales6838lol totally agree
@@sammymorales6838 attitude era and sosa/McGuire homerun chase were some of the greatest spectacles to watch.
Rickey Henderson was my favorite player since early 80's. One of the best on do many medals......🤷🏻♂️
Babe Ruth , Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey jr, Ted Williams , Alex Rodriguez
Babe Ruth
Somewhere....in my house....there's a picture I took of Rickey Henderson taking a picture of the Target dog outside a Minneapolis hotel and him upset that that dog didn't have the Target paint on his face. "It's just a regular dog?!" (I'm sorry Ricky....it's just a regular dog)
It's harder than you think to come up with ONLY 5.
Ruth
Griffey
Cobb
Aaron
Mays
(my 3rd edit)
Yeah, ok.... no mention of Ted Williams, ty Cobb, babe ruth, Lou gehrig, Pete rose, Nolan Ryan, sandy Koufax, Cy young, or Bob feller... Ken, you were my favorite player, but this shows only one thing.....
Shannon’s craft is football not saying he doesn’t know baseball questioning why he would say Henderson is crazy talk!
Top 5 without Babe Ruth!? Crazy
It’s a lot easier to be the best player in the League-When that league only allows players of one race.
That isn’t some kind of a “Political statement”;
It’s basic Math.
It’s easier to be #1/100 players, than it is #1/10,000 players.
On top of that, it’s also much easier to dominate a Sport/Competition-The newer/younger the Sport is.
As a game evolves, competition becomes less and less exploitable.
People get better and better, they learn from their own mistakes and they get to learn from the mistakes of others, etc. etc.
All of those things play a significant factor. So, it’s perfectly logical to assume that Babe Ruth wasn’t the Greatest Player of All Time.
I’ll be waiting on that shoe to drop, dope kicks from Griffey
Barry Bonds and Pete Rose must have never played in the MLB .. lol
Well theyre white so they can’t be on his top 5
@@stevebutler6428 You learn something new every day.
Today, I learned that _”Barry Bonds is white”._
All great players but is supposed to be all time baseball players, not influential. Mays is the only one of those as top five.
Mays is not even top ten.
No Latinos or white dudes in your top five? Okay...
Why would he have to include latino or white players?
@@eversezramclaurin3103 bc being racist isn’t ok. Guesss u think it is
Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Hank Aaron, Randy Johnson
Ricky Henderson is the greatest lead off hitter ever! ⚾
Love "the kid" but I think his understanding of best baseball players is seriously lacking. Never in my life heard Ricky Henderson in the same conversation as May's or Aaron. Junior sounding racist is all I took away from this.
How did he sounds racist what are you talking about.
Agree 100 percent.
My five, post ww2, (no pitchers)....Bonds, Williams, Trout, Mantle, Mays.
Griffey is my favorite all-time player and best I have seen in my lifetime. Is he the best ever I don't know, because I haven't seen everyone play. Griffey picked his top 5 and all are African American players, not reading too much into that, but clearly he had role models that he followed and looked up to in the sport.
This man seriously put jacky robinson over babe ruth 🤣.
He doesn’t pick white people.
So many choices for a game that has spanned over 150 years. Nice to see a diversity of MLB players named, from the comment section. It would probably be a boring world if everyone had the same thoughts and opinions.
There is nothing wrong with Ken's list, at all. When the color barrier was broken, players of color proved themselves.
Pete Rose? Mike Trout?
@@mattwilkie9713Yup.
That makes no sense. Is ur top 5 fav colors potato?
Man there is so many greats
Good thing Griffey said his name cause its not a list without Willie Mays on it.
Mays is not top 5. He broke no records, did not finish first in any offensive category, and did not dominate.
@@williamhendershot5495 just outta curiosity, who would u put in ur top 5?

Babe Ruth, The Sultan of Swat, The King of Crash, The Colossus of Clout, The Great Bambino
If I had a top 5, he’d be in mine.
That’s a ridiculous list
I think Jr needs a baseball history lesson
I think he needs a blm lesson
needs a trip to the hall of fame
Ken Griffey is #1
Ken you are my favorite player of all times but you didn’t put my second favorite player on your list.....The greatest short stop of all times...Ozzie Smith.
I really like Ozzie but he's not even necessarily HOF worthy. He has a career batting average of .262, zero MVP's, and a total of 28 home runs in 19 years. Ozzie dominated on defense and known as an outstanding base runner but I'm not sure that makes him HOF worthy.
@@conrad463 he has the highest dWAR of any shortstop all time, the stats say he was greatest defensive shortstop of all time
@@tomjoseph1307 He's one of the greatest defensive players of all time but I don't know if that necessarily makes him HOF worthy. Hard to put a career .262 hitter in the Hall when you have other players I think that are a little more deserving. Just my two cents.....
@@conrad463 WHAT😂😂
@@kobeisthegoat332 I'm supposed to take that seriously with a name like that?
His top 5 I can’t deny!!!
Great list. Jackie for his impact, Rickey best lead off hitter, Willie and Hank best players ever and Gibson fiercest pitcher ever.
That's a BS list and you know it Junior.
I truly believe, K.G. is the best baseball player ever
What about The Great One Roberto Clemente?..
Without Jackie Robinson we’d still own our own league & teams
Just like you have your own prosperous beautiful civilized cities?
You mean like the ones that were thriving then were blew up?!
does that make him a top 5 player tho?
@A Champion i can't argue with that at all
I’m leery of idols that are forced on us. All I know is there’s only 1 minority that’s a majority owner in the MLB. Is that progression?
I wanted to hear some Rickey stories 😂
Ruth
Trout
Griffey Jr
Bonds
Aaron
Mickey Mantle , Babe Ruth , Willie Mays , Hank Aarronn, Ted Williams!
He left Babe Ruth out. Barry Bonds. How about Lou Gehrig? Barry probably due to gas, but everyone else was taking, and I'm not absolving jr here either of it. But, to leave at least Babe off that list, there's a scent of racism here. And come on, Lou Gehrig, had he not come down with that despicable disease, he would've had all time top numbers as well.
Top 5-
1- Babe Ruth
2- Barry Bonds
3- Lou Gehrig
4- Ted Williams
5- Willie Mays - this one was tough. A lot of guys could've been put in there.
Honorable mentions- Hank Aaron, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Ken Griffey jr,
These next guys I don't care if there's steroids, or they're just known as dopes, but they put up some monster runs- Mark Mcgwire, Sammy Sosa and Manny Ramirez. They've got to be mentioned if Barry is. And they were virtually ALL taking back then---- and are nearly all taking now, albeit maybe, maybe in less dosages to appear less obvious.
Truth be Told I LOVE KEN GRIFFEY JR. and I absolutely wish he had won a championship..I am extremely critical of him and especially his decision to go to Cincinnati, But ultimately I adore this Guy , Im competitive over many ideas and concepts with him because I AM most definitely a YANKEES person...But make No mistake. ,》 I DO LOVE and RESPECT AND ADMIRE Ken Griffey jr ,"The Kid" ⚾ 🧢
Swap out Ricky and put in Griffey. I love Jackie but he does not have the numbers like a Mickey Mantle, Pete Rose. What Jackie did was heroic, incredible and inspiring but that does not mean one of the greatest of all time. I would think Josh Gibson before Jackie and I am a Jackie fan, even Satchel Paige before Jackie or Bob Gibson but everyone has their own list and everyone is entitled to their own list.
That’s hard. I like his list.
Mays, Aaron, Bonds, Clemente, Bench, Ichiro, Jr, Ripken, Ruth, Mantle. Undisputed top 10 the order is whatever but they are the best 10 position players. Gibson, Koufax, Maddox, Ryan, Carlton, Johnson, Palmer, Pedro, Mariano, Fingers. Top ten pitchers all time again order is whatever
Bonds, Ruth, Mays, Pujols, and Aaron
Good list right here. 👍
No babe ruth lol
His list.
@@Maal7432 is bullsh*t! We know

Babe Ruth? Barry Bonds?
Babe,Lou Gehrig,Mays,Joe D, Cobb. Bonds,Walter Johnson hard to leave out.
The top 5 players that I’ve seen in my lifetime as an 18 year old kid. Btw this is in no order: Pujols, Ortiz, Jeter, Trout, and Kershaw. Before the 2020 World Series Verlander was on my list but since Kershaw actually has a win as a starter in the WS, he bumped off Verlander.
Rivera always wowed me as a kid day after day he was unhitable. I also really miss watching griffey Jr and manny ramirez at the plate.
Despite his list being a BLM statement instead of a legitimate GOAT list... he was still my idol growing up.
Nobody has Bob Gibson before Cy Young... unless they have Peyton Manning in front of Brady too. No. Griffey was a good family man, husband, played the right way, behaved the right way, was amazing to watch! Griffey is in my top 5 of my generation/era easily.
Shannon said no pitchers
Thought the same. Love Griff but wtf
@michael cooper every generation has its asterisk. The Dan Marino's and Roger Staubach's were the most mechanical and stiff versions of "athleticism" known to football. Marino more so. The pads were huge and the range of motion was restricted... in many ways its almost a different sport due to equipment advancement, current speed of the game, as well as limitations made on hitting.
Babe. Pitcher and hitter.
Everyone still knows babe
Most overrated baseball player of all time. Played against a handful of good players and a bunch of scrubs that had jobs in the offseason. Very few pitchers even threw 90mph back then. Most threw 70-80 mph. The fact that a fat, overweight smoker was the best player of the era says it all.
People see the stats and compare them to todays players, which is a joke. Most of the players he played against couldn't even warm the benches in the minor leagues nowadays.
That list was trash lol
You misspelled racist.
Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Babe Ruth?
Zero arguments there ! I'd add Griffey Jr And Nolan Ryan
Great list!
Barry bonds, ken Griffey jr, Alex Rodriguez, Jackie Robinson
Can’t believe he forgot his friend. Ichiro. Destroy his top 5. Jackie broke the b/w barrier
