Ken Griffey Jr.’s 1996 Game-Used Seattle Mariners Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

An Icon of the Diamond

Ken Griffey Jr., a name synonymous with baseball excellence, graced the field with unparalleled prowess and charisma. As a 13-time All-Star and a 10-time Gold Glove Award winner, Griffey’s legacy is etched in the annals of Major League Baseball. The 1996 season was a testament to his extraordinary talent, as he batted an impressive .303, with 49 home runs and 140 RBIs, solidifying his status as one of the game’s greats.

The Jersey: A Testament to Greatness

This remarkable jersey, presented to us as game-used, is a tangible piece of Griffey’s storied career. The front left tail features a “RUSSELL ATHLETIC” size “46” manufacturer’s tag, complete with washing instructions. An attached tag reads “2” EXTRA LENGTH,” and below it, a year tag states “‘1996.” Across the chest, “SEATTLE” is emblazoned in navy blue on teal on white tackle twill, a striking representation of the Mariners’ colors.

• Player Name and Number: The back of the jersey proudly displays “GRIFFEY” on a grey nameplate, with the iconic number “24” below, both in navy blue on teal tackle twill.
• Sleeve Details: The right sleeve features an embroidered “Russell Athletic” logo, while the left sleeve is adorned with a “SEATTLE MARINERS” logo patch.
• Condition: This jersey is properly tagged and, in our opinion, shows excellent use, accompanied by an additional Letter of Authenticity (LOA).
