Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. has found an awesome way to keep himself involved in the professional sports industry.
On Wednesday, soccer legend Lionel Messi made his highly-anticipated home debut for Inter Miami CF against Nashville. During the broadcast, cameras cut to “The Kid” working as a photographer for the game:
Inter Miami CF and Nashville fought to a 0-0 draw.
Griffey Jr. spent 22 seasons in the majors, spent with the Seattle Mariners (1989-99 and 2009-2010), Cincinnati Reds (2000 to 2008) and Chicago White Sox (2008). The 13-time All-Star put the Mariners on the baseball map in the ’90s, helping them to a 1995 ALCS appearance and another playoff berth in 1997.
Griffey Jr. led the AL in home runs on four occasions and won a ridiculous 10 Gold Glove Awards to go along with seven Silver Slugger Awards and 1997 AL MVP honors.

In Oct. 2021, Griffey Jr. returned to the Mariners and became a member of the club’s ownership group. The Mariners are currently tied with the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West.
