Check out this video of Ken Griffey, Jr. giving Cincinnati Reds broadcaster Jeff Brantley a throat slash gesture. The video of the incident is at the end of this entry.

The story behind the throat slash by Griffey is in regards to comments Brantley allegedly made recently. According to reports, Brantley said that Griffey is pouting because the Reds haven’t picked up Griffey’s multi-million dollar option. Griffey obviously wasn’t too happy with those comments and showed it after hitting a homer.

On Monday, Ken Griffey, Jr. hit his 600th homer to become just the sixth player to reach that number. With 600 homers, Griffey now trails only Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays and Sammy Sosa. If Griffey can hit ten more homers this season, he will pass Sosa and move into fifth place.

Griffey’s long ball came off of Mark Hendrickson in the first inning. The Cincinnati Reds went on to beat the Florida Marlins 9-4. On the season, Griffey is now batting .260 with seven homers and 29 RBI.
