Ken Griffey Jr. shoots photos of Leo Messi, Inter Miami vs Nashville SC
National Baseball Hall of Famer, Cincinnati Reds Hall of Famer and former Moeller High School standout Ken Griffey Jr. was at Inter Miami's DRV PNK Stadium for Wednesday night's 0-0 draw against Nashville SC.
Junior's love of photography is well-documented, and he's been a credentialed photographer at sporting events throughout several years of experience.
But fans at those events still understandably do a double take when they see one of Major League Baseball's all-time greats wearing media gear and shooting photos at a Major League Soccer game.
And not every photographer gets to pose for photos with Floyd Mayweather.
Social media reactions to Junior's gig in Fort Lauderdale, including from @MLS:
We hope your pics are as sweet as your swing, Kid. 📸 https://t.co/rSs9CyKBBl
