Griffey Jnr, who smashed 630 career home runs, was inducted into the Hall of Fame last year after 22 Major League Baseball seasons with the Seattle Mariners, Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago White Sox.

His father Ken Griffey Snr was a three-time All-Star outfielder who won World Series crowns in 1975 and 1976 with Cincinnati. He played from 1973 to 1991 for the Reds, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves and Seattle.
