Willie Mays did have some nice protection in that line-up though. Mays was the best but you had Willie McCovey and others there as well. Don't forget about Dusty Rhodes, Seriously!

Griffey Jr was the man, and had one of, if not the, best 10-year runs in baseball. He did have Edgar Martinez, Tino Martinez, and Jay Buhner. Before you laugh, look at their numbers: (Averaged between the 3, so 3 players hitting this way, besides Griffey in 1995) 33 HR's and 115 RBI!

I do agree that the pitching was better back in Mays and Aaron's time but not much, if any, better in Griffey Jr.'s time.

It was defintely better in Griffey's era. This is the era that both hitters and PITCHERS lived on Juice, yet Junior prevailed over all those who were cheating!
