Griffey Jr. offered Bronny some straightforward advice based on his own experiences. He said, “I did tell Bronny to just relax, enjoy it, be you. You are not gonna be him. Nobody is him. When I got there, my dad told me that this is your team, I am just here. And he was dad at the house and teammate at the ballpark. But like I said, there were times that I rode home with mom. It was much safer.”
Griffey Jr. further emphasized the learning opportunity Bronny has by being in such close proximity to his father during games. He explained, “You’re gonna learn a lot by being able to sit there and be on the bench watching him. People say he needs to be in the G-League and he needs this and that. I’ll tell you what, I learned more sitting there watching my dad than anything.”
