Ken Griffey Jr. Featured on a Painted Baseball Glove
“The Kid” Painted Glove Celebrates Griffey’s Hall of Fame Career
Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr featured on a hand-painted Rawlings outfielders glove similar to the style he wore throughout his career.
"The Kid" in his classic swing pose, knocking one of his 630 career home runs.
This painting of Junior was a custom commissioned piece, given as a corporate gift to a big Griffey fan.
Finding a new Rawlings glove for a left-handed thrower with the trapeze-style web similar to what Griffey used was half the fun – and it turned out to be a stunner with gold trim.
So it made perfect sense to incorporate gold paint into the decidedly Mariners-inspired palette for this painting.
I made sure to include the three teams Griffey played for with a nod to his signature backwards hat, too!
Also hand-lettered on the artwork are Griffey’s numerous Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards, All-Star appearances and his 1997 MVP award.
