At just 20 years and 63 days, he’s now the youngest player this century—and fifth-youngest ever—to homer leadoff in MLB history. The shot, a sweet reward for his hard work behind the scenes, also puts him in elite company with legends like Mickey Mantle. With the leadoff spot likely his for the foreseeable future, especially against lefties, Griffin’s speed and power could spark rallies and keep PNC Park electric. Already compared to Willie Mays, this homer is just the beginning of what could be a legendary career. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
