Upcoming documentary follows Griffey Jr.'s stint photographing the Masters

Ken Griffey Jr. has flipped the script.

“It’s just funny,” he says in a new NBC documentary, premiering Sunday, April 5, at 1 p.m. ET. “I’m the only one with a camera. Usually, it’s the other way around.”

It’s understandable that Griffey would feel that way. After all, the Hall of Fame slugger was the face of baseball in the 1990s, a legend who smashed 630 home runs and won 10 Gold Glove Awards in center field over his magnificent 22-year Major League career.

He’s not exactly used to being the one taking photos. He’s usually the subject.

“Photographer 24” is a documentary the follows “The Kid” in his work as a credentialed photographer during the 2025 Masters Tournament. After its premiere, it will be available to stream on Peacock.

It’s interesting that Griffey has joined former teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Randy Johnson on the photography circuit. There must be something about Mariners legends that draws them to the other side of the camera.

During his experience at the Masters, the prestigious annual tournament that takes place at Augusta National Golf Club, Griffey was instantly recognized by fans, and his modesty made for some humorous moments.

“Greatest of all time, man,” said one spectator.

Junior’s response?

“Just a little slap hitter.”

“My dad has a signed jersey of you at home,” said another.

“No, that’s my brother,” Griffey replied.

Griffey has long been a fan of golf, having himself participated in many celebrity tournaments over the years. But this time, it’s different.

This time, The Kid is behind the lens, and you don’t want to miss it.
