Ken Griffey Jr.’s surprise presence at this year’s Masters as a photographer is inspiring. The 55-year-old who eclipsed baseball’s precipice is still learning on the job, which he admits.
Griffey took up photography as a second career years ago following his Hall of Fame baseball career. He’s been credited for shooting MLB, NFL and MLS games, as well as IndyCar events. He recently shot the MLB Tokyo Series in Japan, which began the new baseball season. He has plenty of experience behind the lens, but he acknowledged capturing the chase for the green jacket is a new challenge.
