In a dozen years of MLB play, Griffin never played in fewer than 95 games. (He scored 1406 runs in those 12 seasons!) I wonder what the rest of his story entails?

His SABR bio I posted has a lot of info: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/mike-griffin-2/
His numbers are pretty insane, but his defensive stats really jumped off the page for me. With the amount of production and the length of his career, his stats read kind of like a 19th century Albert Belle (adjusted for power of course).
