It’s hard to envision what the world will look like in the 22nd century, but you can count on one thing being said:
An elderly Griffin Greinke will remind his older brother about the time he got a hit off Bode Greinke.
Griffin and Bode are the sons of former Royals pitcher Zack Greinke, and they met in a Little League game over the weekend. Greinke’s wife, Emily, shared video of 10-year-old Bode pitching to his 8-year-old brother, Griffin.
“GREINKE VS GREINKE best day yesterday when Griffin filled in for the opposing team that was playing his brother 🥹 might not ever happen again, but this was the cutest moment and they both couldn’t stop smiling! Little brother base hit!!!” Emily Greinke wrote.
That’s bragging rights for life for the little brother.
The video also shows a proud Zack Greinke watching his boys play on opposite teams. Bode was wearing jersey No. 23, the same as his dad’s during Zack’s stints with the Royals (2004-10 and 2022-23).
This is a sweet and fun video.
