Ken Griffey Jr. Is a Proud Dad While Taking Photos of Son's Homecoming Game

Ken Griffey Jr. is a Hall of Fame dad.

Ken Griffey Jr.’s baseball playing days might be over, but he’s found a way to stay close to the sports world since his retirement. 

Griffey now shoots photographs of sporting events, including MLS matches and NFL games, but his assignment on Saturday was an especially meaningful one: shooting his son's homecoming football game.

Tevin Griffey is a redshirt junior defensive back at Florida A&M. On Saturday, the Rattlers were taking on Prairie View A&M for their homecoming game. Standing on the sidelines was Tevin’s dad, taking photos with a very nice camera.

The Rattlers would go on to win 45–7.

You know him as Ken Griffey Jr., the baseball Hall of Famer. But today he was photo dad for Tevin Griffey at Florida A&M homecoming.
