25 years ago Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr hit back to back homers

[Knights89]

The first father-son tandem in Major League history had been teammates for almost a month when, on Sept. 14, 1990, they did something extraordinary.
After Harold Reynolds started the Mariners' game against the Angels at Anaheim Stadium with a walk, Ken Griffey Sr. followed with a home run to left-center field against right-hander Kirk McCaskill.

Ken Griffey Jr., the No. 3 hitter, was at home plate to greet his dad and Reynolds after the home run. Junior then stepped into the batter's box and sent a 3-and-0 pitch to almost the exact same spot in left-center field -- making the Griffeys the first father and son to hit home runs in the same game.

The Griffeys go back-to-back

The Griffeys go back-to-back

That had to be a crazy moment to share with your Pops

I couldn't imagine being on the same team as your dad, much less having back to back homers.

Wish Bronny was a little older, and could play in the same lifetime as LBJ.

Him patting me on my head when I hit the game winner




He needs to get back in shape so we can hoop again

Never knew Harold was apart of that.

When MLB was BLACKEXCELLENCE on a hundred, thousand, trillion

When will the game get another Griffey (non espanol) GOAT

 

[tonyclifton]

That was my idol.

I was only three when this happened but my dad was a big Griffey Stan so I watched a lot of games on vhs.

In this era he is the goat to me because he never cheated and had a legit shot to break the record

I challenge you to find someone in your family tree even as close to black as David Ortiz
