Ken Griffey Jr.’s 1993 Game-Used Mariners Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

The Legacy of “The Kid”

Ken Griffey Jr., affectionately known as “The Kid,” is a name that resonates with baseball enthusiasts worldwide. As the first pick for the Seattle Mariners in the 1987 draft, Griffey embarked on a legendary 22-season career, during which he hit an astounding 630 home runs. His prowess in center field and his charismatic presence on the diamond made him a fan favorite and a Hall of Fame inductee.

A Jersey with a Storied Past

This particular jersey is a testament to Griffey’s remarkable career. Matched to multiple games, it holds a special place in history, notably worn on May 6th, 1993, when the Mariners triumphed over the Angels with a 12-7 victory. On that memorable day, Griffey went 3-5, including a home run, further solidifying his status as one of the game’s greats.

Details of the Jersey

The jersey itself is a grey knit masterpiece, featuring the RUSSELL ATHLETIC / MLB label on the front left tail. It includes wash instructions, a size (46), and three additional tags: ‘2” Extra Length’, ‘+3” Sleeve End’, and ‘100% Polyester’. Adjacent to these is a year (1993) tag, marking its authenticity and era.

• Front Design: The word “SEATTLE” is emblazoned across the front in navy on teal on white tackle twill.
• Sleeve Detail: The right sleeve proudly displays the MARINERS disc logo.
• Back Design: The player name “GRIFFEY” is showcased on a grey nameplate, with the iconic number “24” below, both in navy on teal tackle twill.

Adding to its allure, Griffey Jr. has signed the jersey below the player number on the back in black marker, with the signature rating a 7 in our opinion.
