Recently elected Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. received the highest vote percentage of all-time by the Baseball Writers of American when he was enshrined into Cooperstown in 2016. Griffey finished his career with 630 home runs, only trailing Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Willie Mays.
Offered is the batting practice jersey worn by Griffey Jr. in 1991, the last season he played alongside his father, Ken Griffey Sr. This Rawlings size 44 blue mesh pullover jersey features “MARINERS” sewn on across the chest in yellow and blue tackle twill. Griffey’s number “24” is sewn on the back in yellow tackle twill and a matching blue patch with “Rawlings” embroidered in yellow is on the right sleeve. The red Rawlings size 44 tag is sewn on the bottom front left tail and the jersey displays moderate use. The jersey has been dated to 1991 based on the last year of Rawlings being the jersey manufacturer for Major League Baseball and the design of this Rawlings tag. This jersey comes with a full LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
