The left-handed hitting Gwynn won eight batting titles in his career, tied for the most in National League (NL) history. He is considered one of the best and most consistent hitters in baseball history. During his first 11 seasons in Seattle, Griffey hit 398 home runs; if he miraculously kept up that pace for the 23 seasons he played professional baseball, he would’ve finished with 832 home runs. Obviously, that didn’t happen. But Griffey’s 630 home runs rank as the sixth-most in baseball history. That’s even after his numbers took a major dive, when he was traded from the Seattle Marriners to the Cincinnati Reds after the 1999 season.
