With 630 career home runs 13 All-Star appearances and 10 Gold Gloves Ken Griffey Jr. had nearly punched his Hall of Fame ticket by the time he socked this home run early in the 1997 season. He was clearly one of the games brightest stars as the new millennium dawned and the actual designation to immortality looms in 2016. This game-used baseball accounted for a home run by The Kid on 5-9-97 attested to by a pretty good source umpire Durwood Merrill. The ball shows considerable game use including some dirt and staining and has notations made by Merrill on one panel noting 5-9-97 Ken Griffey Hr # 15 also detailed by the retired umpire in a Letter of Authenticity that accompanies the lot pointing out that the ball has been in his personal Famous Event collection ever since that date.
