Rare Picture: Tiger Woods Gets Baseball Batting Tips From MLB Hall of Famer

Some sports stories are known to the world. A few others get passed around, surfacing when no one expects them to. It creates an even bigger impact when legends like Tiger Woods and Ken Griffey Jr. are involved.

Both icons have enjoyed their own fame and success, one headed to the Hall of Fame, and one already inducted. A throwback photo was recently shared online, which drew in people almost instantly.

The image itself features the PGA Tour icon to the left with a backward hat, and Griffey to the right. While the 15-time Major Champion was looking somewhere off-camera, the 13-time MLB All-Star seemed to be in mid-conversation, pointing towards something.

Certainly, the fans are elated to see the two legends in one frame. It’s surely like an NFT alert to some.

When was the photo taken?

While the image in question surfaced recently, the memory was actually shared years ago by MLB league. Evidently, in 1999, Woods had some leisure time and ended up spending it with his friend and neighbor Griffey. Woods took to the field when the Seattle Mariners were in Minneapolis to play against the Minnesota Twins.

The picture MLB shared had Woods shaking hands with Jay Buhner, while Griffey smiles.

Woods’ BP was not the best either. While Woods did practice with Griffey and the Mariners, wearing their own windbreaker, he had a tough time hitting the ball. He took around 25 swings, managing to hit only three to four in outside the infield. He did end up hitting one pitch deep center.

Looking back, the Mariners did lose the game, Griffey having one single and two RBIs. He retired in June 2010.
