McFarland: From Dawg to Dragon, speedy Griffin excelling in first college season
“Leo Griffin was undoubtedly going to play baseball.
With a family heavily involved in the game, the challenge was actually in deciding where on the field he wanted to play.

Even then, the younger Griffin was torn on his position on the field, until deciding that his most dangerous skill, his speed, needed to be exploited.
His career took off with a move to the outfield and is now enjoying a breakout freshman campaign at Hutchinson Community College.”

Time once was when the oldest of Matt and Petra's two children cleared that passageway without a thought. Not anymore. These days, if he doesn't duck, he'll dent his forehead, to speak nothing of the damage he might do to the door jamb.”
