Since joining the P-Nats organization, Griffith has overseen some of the most celebrated moments in P-Nats history, highlighted by the team's Mills Cup Championship in the 2008 season.

In addition to the success on the baseball field, the P-Nats have been just as strong off it. The Potomac Nationals have been major players in the Northern Virginia region, putting their hands into many community service adventures, including the Uncle Slam Reading Program, where the team's mascot travels to local elementary schools to teach kids the importance of reading, and donating over $20,000 to area non-profit organizations in 2009.
