Mainly known for his sweet home run swing, Ken Griffey Jr. was also one of the smoothest defensive center fielders to play the game. Griffey Jr. won 10 consecutive Gold Glove Awards from 1990-99. Griffey Jr. was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016, receiving the all time highest percentage of the vote. “Rawlings” manufactured, “Pro T-13” model glove with “TRAP EZE” web style. On the wrist is the Rawlings manufacturer’s tag. On the outside thumb area reads the player name, “Ken Griffey Jr.” embroidered in gold-colored stitching. Adjacent is a Rawlings logo embroidered. On the palm reads, “HEART of the HIDE” and below reads, “Rawlings” in gold-colored font. Adjacent on the inside of the pinky area reads, “PRO-TD”. Features include: reinforced web lace, FastBack finger holdster and welting. The back laces were stretching and Griffey Jr. requested the glove to be re-laced. This glove is properly tagged, was presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows outstanding with excellent player attributes. Accompanied by an Esken LOA.
