Junior

It's hard to argue that Ken Griffey Jr. is one of the finest athletes from Gen X. I loved how he pissed off all the baseball "purists" by turning his hat backwards during pre-game warm ups.

It's hard to imagine Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire or Roger Clemens ever symbolizing innocence -- especially Clemens, whom ESPN's Bill Simmons recently declared has reached "The Tyson Zone," the point at which nothing you hear about an athlete could surprise you.
