“I was still playing – and I understand what my father wanted to watch me play – but now, with social media, it was a little different. Everyone is like” Oh, Ken is here “”, told Griffey Jr. to Mornings @ The Masters.

“My daughter has literally stopped dribbling a basketball ball and just looked at me when she was 5 years old, and I said to myself:” Ok, I have to pay more attention to what’s going on. “And I thought no one was playing with the photographer.
