If you're going to play the game of giving Griffey the games he lost due to injury, you should maybe also bump his performance up on the games he played hurt before & after the games he missed.

Gehrig, Williams, and Mantle all missed significant amounts of time. All were still great players despite their absences from the game. Honestly, he joins the great what-if’s of baseball.

The "what if" is fun, but shouldn't change our objectivity. (Not that it has changed yours).
