Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr burst onto the Major League scene in 1989 with the Seattle Mariners. The sweet-swinging lefty ignited the Mariners’ franchise with his power, speed and glove work in center field. From 1991 through 1996, Junior averaged 33 home runs, 97 RBI and maintained a solid .309 batting average, and led the American League in home runs in 1994.
This offered Louisville Slugger C271 model bat was used by Griffey during his prime years with the Seattle Mariners (1991-1996). This bat displays ecellent game use and is un-cracked. There are numerous ball marks, stitch impressions and cleat imprints present on the barrel, along with an impression of a weighted donut and two small depressions on the back barrel. The handle has tape running approximately 7 ½ inches from the knob and has a spaced criss-cross pattern with a light coating of Mota stick to enhance the grip. Griffey has signed this bat in silver marker. This is a tremendous game used bat from the Hall of Famer with the third highest percentage of votes and it comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA (H53954) for the game use and has been given a high grade of GU 8, plus a LOA from Beckett Authentication for the signature.
