This Date in Baseball - The Griffeys become the 1st father and son to play together in MLB history

Major league baseball’s calendar is packed with milestones, led by the Griffeys’ historic father-son moment in 1990. Ken Griffey Jr., at age 20, and his father, Ken Griffey Sr., 40, teamed up as Seattle beat Kansas City 5-2, becoming the first father and son to play together in MLB history. The date also features other standout performances: Sandy Koufax struck out 18 Giants in 1959 for a National League record; Gil Hodges hit four homers for Brooklyn in 1950; and 2001 includes the case of pitcher Danny Almonte, ruled ineligible after age-fraud findings.
