The name Griffey carries a certain weight in the sports world. Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. have impacted the MLB world as a legendary father-son duo. In a twist of fate, a younger Griffey family member chose to carry on that legacy in football. But he recently stepped into his father’s world on the MLB stage, proudly wearing a Seattle Mariners jersey. And Ken Griffey Jr. couldn’t be more proud.

Although Trey Griffey was never selected in an NFL draft, he has always received endless support from his dad. Since the Mariners have proudly boasted the Griffey name for two generations, the latest one finally got to join in too.
