Ken Griffey Jr. is a sight for sore eyes.

Julio Rodriguez had one very notable fan and Seattle Mariners legend following his incredible performance in the 2022 Home Run Derby Monday night. Griffey Jr., also known for his own Derby prowess, had a huge professional looking camera he was using to snap some great action shots.

Of course people honed in on that.

It didn’t matter that Rodriguez lost in the finals to Juan Soto because Ken Griffey taking pics was totally awesome.
