The career span of an athlete is generally shorter than for most other professions, making it rare for a father and son to be actively playing a sport at the same time. In 1989, Ken Griffey and Ken Griffey Jr. made Baseball history as the first father and son to play simultaneously in Major League Baseball, with Griffey Sr. playing for the Atlanta Braves, and his son playing for the Seattle Mariners. The next year, Griffey Sr. joined the Mariners and, on this date in 1990, the two made history again when they became the first father-and-son team to hit back-to-back homers.
