Rodriguez vs. Griffey
 
ESPN.com

 
Name: Alex Rodriguez
Age: 24
Who is he? Shortstop for the Seattle Mariners

Why is he on the list?
He's already had the best offensive season for a shortstop in history. He's gone 40-40. He's hit 42 home runs each of the past two seasons. He's younger than Jeter and Garciaparra. He's about to become a free agent.


Name: Ken Griffey Jr.
Age: 30
Who is he? Center fielder for the Seattle Mariners

Why is he on the list?
Still young enough to dominate for another decade, Griffey is poised to break Aaron's (or McGwire's) home run record. Can you say 800 career home runs?
