There’s a new “The Kid” in town.

Ken Griffey Jr. made some pretty amazing catches in his day. Because you're super old, Ken's son, Trey Griffey, is now a wide receiver playing for the Arizona Wildcats in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl. This touchdown, the freshman's first of his career, helped Arizona extend its first-half lead to 21-6 over Boston College:

If you ask me, Ken’s catches were way more impressive. That baseball is WAY smaller than a football.

(P.S. Trey -- perhaps allegorically -- had a Mariners contract, postdated to 2012. Probably the smarter move to attend college.)
