Lot #677: 1995 Ken Griffey Jr. Game Used & Signed Seattle Mariners Full Uniform - Jersey, Pants & Undershirt (Griffey LOA, Beckett)

Description

While Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. only played in 72 games during the 1995 season due to a wrist injury suffered in late May, it was his dash across the bases during Game 5 of the Division Series against the New York Yankees on Edgar Martinez' hit, scoring the series-clinching run, that may be one of the most iconic moments in Mariners' history.

Presented here is a game used and signed Seattle Mariners jersey, pants, and undershirt worn by Griffey Jr. during the 1995 season. The jersey is a six-button teal green Seattle Mariners jersey that features "MARINERS" across the chest in silver-on-navy tackle twill. Navy piping runs the length of the front placket and rings the collar. A circular Seattle Mariners patch rests upon the left sleeve. A Russell Athletic "R" and a "Negro League 75th Anniversary" patch rest upon the right sleeve. A Russell Athletic MLB DIAMOND COLLECTION size "46" manufacturer's tag with a "100% POLYESTER" flag rest on the front left tail. A white swatch labeled "95," indicating the year it was worn by Griffey Jr., appears on the left front tail. "GRIFFEY" appears across the back of the jersey in silver-on-navy tackle twill on a matching teal green nameplate. Griffey's large signature signed with a black marker appears above the number "24" in silver-on-navy tackle twill on the back of the jersey. The jersey displays moderate amounts of game use and contains wear on the sleeves and collar.

The second item in this presented lot are a pair of white pants worn by Griffey Jr. during the 1995 season. The pants feature navy piping running the length of the legs. A Russell Athletic MLB AUTHENTIC DIAMOND COLLECTION size "34" manufacturer's tag appears on the inside waistband. A Russell Athletic "R" logo appears above the left pocket. Griffey Jr. signed the upper right thigh of the pants with a black marker. The signature is bold. The pants display a moderate amount of game use, containing a brown stain on the right thigh, a stain on the left thigh above the knee, and a small stain on the back left leg.

The third item in this presented lot is a navy Nike undershirt signed by Griffey Jr. across the top chest with a silver metallic paint pen. The Nike "Swoosh" logo appears on the collar in black. The jersey displays light evidence of game use, containing wear on the sleeves. The jersey has been cut at the midsection. The entire lot of three items, including a signed Mariners jersey, signed pants, and signed undershirt signed by Griffey Jr. and worn during the 1995 season, comes with an LOA from Beckett for the signatures and a LOA from Griffey for the game use.
