Bleacher Report Wednesday April 16, 2025
Ken Griffey Jr. created plenty of iconic moments during his Major League Baseball career. After his retirement, he took up photography and has been seen shooting at various sports events. Last week, he created plenty of news as a credentialed photographer at the Masters golf tournament—and even more, notes Bleacher Report, when he shot a viral image of Rory McIlroy collapsing in joy after sinking a putt to win. ”I’m still picking it up.

These models are likely still at least generations away from hitting the market, but they are on the road map,” reports Bloomberg.
