I really do not understand this statement either...
I would argue exactly the opposite myself. MVP. 10 gold gloves, 13 all stars.

I am not saying he is garbage, and not sure that he is clean either, but it isn't as though he is some sort of Roberto Clemente humanitarian or a loyal guy that "took one for the team" and stayed with a team throughout his career through the ups and downs.
To me he is like a bunch of other players that were very good over their careers and probably deserve a title.
Wasn't meant as a shot against Griffey but I still don't see what he did that makes him "deserve" a title.
