Dubbed “Junior” and (fittingly) “The Natural,” Ken Griffey, Jr. continued his family’s “Big Red Machine” heritage after having established himself in the Great Northwest. This Cincinnati Reds alternate jersey was issued to Griffey during his tenure in the Queen City. The red knit button-down garment features twill identifiers, proper “Russell Athletic” tagging and was worn by Griffey during the 2005 and/or 2006 seasons. All original and unaltered, the jersey shows light wear. More on our website.
