When An MLB Athlete Humiliated His Dad On The Field

In this unforgettable 1990 moment, Ken Griffey Jr. sprints across the outfield to make a spectacular catch—stealing a routine fly ball right out of his father’s territory for the final out of the inning. Playing side by side on the Seattle Mariners, the father-son duo shares a rare and historic bond, but Junior’s youthful hustle and playful competitiveness shine through as he grins after snatching the out. The clip perfectly captures a lighthearted but iconic family moment in baseball history.
