The Kid. The swing. The catch. There are players who made you love baseball, and then there is Ken Griffey Jr. — the only player who ever made even non-fans stop what they were doing to watch him take an at-bat. From the backwards cap to the leaping catches against the Kingdome wall to that swing — that perfect, effortless, once-in-a-century swing — Griffey was the most electric player of his era and one of the greatest of all time.
He wore number 24 for the Mariners for most of his legendary career, putting Seattle baseball on the national map at a time when the city desperately needed it. If the Mariners fan in your life remembers those years — or if your dad grew up idolizing The Kid like an entire generation did — a Ken Griffey Jr. plaque is the kind of gift that goes on the wall and never comes down.
Hall of Famer, 2016. 99.3% of Ballots.
Griffey was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016 with the highest vote percentage in HOF history at the time. 630 career home runs. Thirteen All-Star selections. Ten consecutive Gold Gloves. And he did it all with that smile. The 1995 ALDS — when Griffey scored the winning run on Edgar's double to end the Yankees' season — is the moment Mariners fans replay in their heads to this day. He was twenty-five years old. The city of Seattle has never gotten over it, and they shouldn't have to.
