1999 Ken Griffey Jr. Game-Used, Signed Mariners Bat (Used for Home Run #31, w/Griffey Signed Letter; GU 8)

Ken Griffey Jr. might have saved baseball in Seattle. Before the Kid arrived in the Emerald City, the M’s were doormats of the American League western division. After he asserted his aptitude, Seattle demonstrated some of baseball’s best performances.

This Louisville Slugger model C271 bat (33-3/4″ and 30.7 ounces) was used by Griffey Jr. when he clubbed his 31st home run in 1999. The game took place July 23, 1999 against Minnesota. Griffey Jr. connected against LaTroy Hawkins in the fifth inning. Authentication is concrete as a letter signed by Griffey Jr. attests that this is the bat he brandished for that home run. trong>PSA/DNA bat authenticator John Taube graded the bat a grade of trong>GU 8. A crack runs 5-1/2″ on the handle, and there’s a small chip missing from the crack. Numerous ball and stitch marks appear on the right and back barrel. As customary on a Griffey gamer from this time period, zig-zag athletic tape runs for an 8-1/2″ distance on the handle. Cleat marks and teal bat rack streaks also vouch for use. Griffey signed the barrel in silver paint pen and added “HR 31 99.” A PSA/DNA sticker is affixed to the barrel.
