Ken Griffey Jr. will forever be one of, if not the most iconic players in Seattle sports history.

Part of the legend of "The Kid" is him and his father, Ken Griffey Sr., becoming the first father-son duo to play in a game together, which they did in the 1990s with the Seattle Mariners. 

On Sunday, before a 3-2 Mariners win against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Ken Griffey Sr. was back in T-Mobile Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Current face of the franchise Julio Rodriguez, who plays Sr.'s son's position in center field, caught for the elder of the two Griffey's.
