After signing a nine-year, $140 million contract extension, Konnor Griffin is making the most of the opportunity and trying to live up to the contract he signed. On his birthday, which was his young 20th, he went yard for his first MLB home run.
For that, he was given a Topps Now card, and his bio explains his exploits:
Happy birthday, Konnor Griffin! On the day he turned 20 years old and in his 20th career game, Pittsburgh’s shortstop posted the best game of his young MLB tenure. Griffin launched his first big-league homer in the third frame of a 6-0 win over Milwaukee, and later roped a two-run single in the eighth. It was the icing on the cake to his first three-hit and three-RBI game.
Until then, see you at the park.
