Junior Griffey hit his 500th homer today. A solo shot. I was hoping he'd never get it.

I just hope he didnt get his wish to hand pick the announcer to call his 500th HR

Congrats to Griffey, but he is extremely arrogant. Not a huge fan.

Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall are the longest running broadcast tandum and are the face of Reds baseball. They have been making historic calls for decades including Pete Rose's record breaking 4,192nd hit. If I was in his position I would ask for Marty and Joe over first year Reds broadcast Steve Stewart too.
