 * Day 2:

=Ken Griffey, Jr. In 1990, Ken Griffey, Jr., and his father played for the same baseball team. The team was the Seattle Mariners. They were the first father and son to play in the same line up in baseball history. In one game, they hit back to back homers off the same pitcher. Ken first wore the Mariners' uniform in 1989. During his career with the team, he was an All-Star 10 times. He won the Gold Glove nine times for being a great outfielder. He was his team's all time leader in homers and runs batted in. In 1995, Ken slammed into the wall while fielding a ball hit deep to right center field. He had used his left hand to keep from hitting the wall too hard. He knew right away that something was wrong. His wrist was broken in 15 places. "The first thing I asked the doctor was whether I would be able to play again," Griffey said. He returned to the line up three months later. Griffey was born in Pennsylavania in 1969. He believes in helping his community. For years, he has been active in a group that grants wishes to very ill children. He has hosted Christmas parties for inner-city youth. Griffey has dressed as Santa and given gifts to the boys and girls. In 2000, Ken was traded to the Cincinnati Reds. His dad was the hitting coach for the Reds. Once again, father and son were part of the same team.=
