Pretty standard spring training photos of McGriff.
"Hey! This looks like a fun job!"It was a job for McGriff, who as a teenager worked as a hot dog and soda vendor at Al Lopez Field. He would also collect used bats and other discarded equipment from the Reds. As a teenager in Tampa, McGriff was cut from the baseball team his sophomore year, but came back the next season to make the team. He put himself on scouts' radar with a moonshot home run off of highly heralded pitching prospect Dwight Gooden.

It's so cool to hear stories of two baseball stars (or any other sport) facing off against each other before their professional years.
