It's official: National Baseball Hall of Famer and former Moeller High School standout and Cincinnati Reds great Ken Griffey Jr. is the proud part-owner of a soccer team.
With an announcement Tuesday, Griffey and his family joined the ownership group - along with Seattle Kraken CEO Tod Leiweke and his wife, Tara - for Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders.
"This is a meaningful day for our entire family," Griffey said in a statement. "My wife Melissa and I said that we wanted to be a part of something special, not only for ourselves, but for our kids to be proud of, and this is it.
