Ken Griffey Jr.’s 1995 Game-Used Mariners Jersey: A Piece of Baseball History

The Legacy of Ken Griffey Jr.

Ken Griffey Jr., often celebrated as the player with the sweetest swing in baseball, was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2016 on the first ballot. His illustrious career is marked by numerous accolades, including ten consecutive Gold Glove Awards, one of which he won during the 1995 season. Griffey’s impact on the game is further immortalized by the Seattle Mariners, who retired his iconic No. 24 jersey, and his inclusion in the MLB’s All-Century Team.
