Griffin Conine came of age in the Marlins clubhouse, raised by the likes of Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramírez.
“Huge forearms, but tiny feet,” Conine said about Uggla, who gave him a pair of size nine cleats that he fit into at the age of 13.
As the son of Jeff Conine, famously known as Mr. Marlin, Griffin’s roots are within the Marlins organization. His early childhood memories include a watch party for Game 6 of the 2003 World Series and the way the old football stadium was different from any baseball atmosphere he had ever seen.
