Griffey was involved in an incident typical for him.
During the game, the mother and three boys asked Griffey for an autograph, and he politely told her, "I can't sign during the game." The mother and the sons began ridiculing him, and the mother said, "You stink, and no wonder your team is losing so bad."
Late in the game, Griffey walked close to where they were seated, handed them three autographed baseballs and silently walked away.
