Ken Griffey Jr.’s Game-Used Glove: A Testament to Baseball Greatness

A Glove Worn by a Legend

In the pantheon of baseball legends, few names resonate as profoundly as Ken Griffey Jr. Inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 2016 with an astounding 99.32% of the vote, Griffey’s legacy is etched in the annals of Major League Baseball. Among the cherished artifacts from his illustrious career is a Rawlings manufactured model “Pro-TB” 13-inch glove, a piece that embodies the essence of his time on the field.

Craftsmanship and Design

This remarkable glove is constructed with a blend of black tanned and natural tanned rawhide laces, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with Rawlings. The “Trap-Eze” web, reinforced with brown rawhide laces, adds a unique touch, while the fingers are also laced with brown rawhide, ensuring durability and performance. The glove shows evidence of moderate use, a testament to its role in Griffey’s storied career.

Signs of Use and Authenticity

Presented to us as game-used, this glove bears the marks of its time on the field. The pocket and web face exhibit even wear, with a substantial portion of the gold foil stamping worn away on the face of the pinky sleeve and pocket. Additionally, the pocket has developed a fair amount of mold from dampness, which is also visible on the back of the finger sleeves. These characteristics not only authenticate its use but also add to its historical significance.
