As a player, Seattle Mariners and Cincinnati Reds legend Ken Griffey Jr. unfortunately never made a World Series.

But as a photographer? Yeah, Junior has made it in that fashion. 

The Baseball Hall of Famer was there with the camera at Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday night between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers. 

The Baseball Hall of Fame put out a picture on "X" of Junior doing his thing:

Focus on Cooperstown: Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. at Wednesday's Game 5, documenting history.

Taking photographs has become a major passion of Griffey in his post-retirement years. Though he works for Major League Baseball, and does some work with the Mariners, we've seen him take pictures at NFL games too. He was at the Arizona Cardinals game earlier this season.

He's not the only Hall of Famer who is big into photography: Former Mariners teammate Randy Johnson is also big into the hobby.

One of the best players in baseball history, Griffey spent 22 years in the big leagues with the Mariners, Reds and White Sox. One of the most popular players to ever play the game, he hit 630 career home runs. He was a 13-time All-Star, a 10-time Gold Glover, a seven-time Silver Slugger and a former MVP.

He was a lifetime .284 hitter.

Though he never made the World Series, he was a dominant playoff performer, hitting .290 in 18 career games in October. He had six home runs in those games.

He saw the Texas Rangers win their first ever World Series on Wednesday night. They beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0.
