The '90s really are over, aren't they...
It's really too bad that the second half of his career was so injury-damaged, he was so, so amazing for a long time that while he was great, he'd have been even greater had he avoided injury. However, even without that, he is #5 in the all-time home runs list, and one of the few superstars from the steroid era who appears to have been really been clean - a worthy achievement to be sure. It is to bad that it had to end early like this though, early in the season and when he is only 40... I know, he wasn't playing much this year or doing well this year yet, but still, it's too bad. Still, his overall career was outstanding, and he certainly was one of the great baseball players of all time.
If he'd been healthy, though...
