griffey out of all-star game

you really have to feel bad for the guy. he had a chance to be the best ever, and now he get hurts every year like clockwork. while this throws a damper on the 500 hr outfield, i still hope that this all-star game will highlight what a great career this man has had. on the topic of his injuries, could it be that the reds' medical staff dropped the ball? he never had this many injuries in seattle.
