MLB legend Ken Griffey Jr. worked as a photographer at one of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami matches

Legendary MLB player Ken Griffey Jr. has a fantastic side gig, and he put it to good use on Wednesday night for an MLS match between Inter Miami and Nashville SC.

The Hall of Famer brought his best photography gear and snapped pictures in the media photography zone of the game, which featured soccer legend Lionel Messi playing for Miami.

The game had one all-time talent photographing another, as it was really cool to see Griffey using his photography skills to get a close-up of another icon.

We hope Griffey continues to break out his camera and snap some more pictures of sporting legends because this is just too cool.

Griffey probably had the photo pit pretty starstruck to be joined by such a monumental figure in baseball, but he was just there working like everyone else during Wednesday night’s MLS match.

We hope Griffey and Messi got to say hello to each other after the game ended, if only because that’d be a sports meeting for the ages.
