Ken Griffey Jr. appears to be all-world talented in whatever field he tries his hand in.
The Seattle Mariners legend has made waves in sports photography over the past few years, swapping his baseball glove for a high-end camera. Griffey was among the credentialed photographers for this year’s World Baseball Classic games held on U.S. soil.
Here’s Griffey holding up a camera large enough to resemble a small bazooka on Saturday as Team USA took on Great Britain in pool play at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.

Griffey was equally locked in during the Americans’ dominant 15-5 win over Brazil the night before. He captured an awesome moment of Kyle Scharber celebrating with Aaron Judge. The snapshot went viral on social media.

“The Kid” was no one-hit wonder either. He took several praiseworthy pictures during the contest.

Griffey has come a long way since becoming a meme at the 2022 Home Run Derby for taking photos with his bulky camera.
The 56-year-old isn’t just a baseball photographer, either. He had a media pass for Lionel Messi’s MLS home debut in 2023 and even brought his camera to the fairway for the 2025 Masters.
