Ken Griffey was born April 10, 1950, in Donora, PA, USA.
Like his dad Ken Sr., Griffey was born in Donora, PA, which also happens to be the birthplace of Hall of Famer Stan Musial, who played high school baseball with Ken Sr.'s father, Buddy. Griffey Jr. and Musial share the same birthday -- Nov. 21.
He was the shy son of immigrants. His neighbor was a semi-pro baseball player that raised his interest. He learned to hit with ball made of tape and a bat that was really a broomstick handle.
