Career

He was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 8th round of the 1981 Major League Baseball draft, and he made his MLB debut on July 11, 1987. After retiring from playing, he became the bench/hitting coach for the Bridgeport Bluefish.

On August 7, 1988, McGriff caught a no-hitter with batterymate Jack Armstrong of the Triple-A Nashville Sounds. The game was one walk shy of being a perfect game.[1]

McGriff is the cousin of Fred McGriff and the uncle of Charles Johnson, both of whom are former major league All-Stars.[2]
