Description
1990 Ken Griffey Jr. & Sr. Hit Back-to-Back Home Runs Full Ticket, PSA NM-MT 8 - Pop 3 with None Higher! Who could have ever thought a mid-September game between two teams out of contention could produce one of baseball's most heart-warming moments? The announced attendance for the Angels and Mariners tilt September 14, 1990 was 34,180 but there were plenty of no-shows because the playoffs were but a dream for both clubs. The main drawing card was a rookie named Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners who would inspire a generation of fans to wear their cap backwards and enjoy every moment of the game.After being released by the Reds midway through the 1990 season, Ken Griffey Sr. signed with the Mariners so he could join his son in the lineup with the M's. The duo was in the lineup for that game at Angel Stadium and did the unthinkable. Kirk McCaskill surrendered back-to-back home runs to the father-son duo and became a footnote in MLB history. Dave Winfield probably had the best quote when he told The Sporting News this for their Oct. 1 issue: "I don't like seeing it done against us, but it was nice to see. It's like keeping up with the Joneses, but now it's keeping up with the Griffeys. It's great for baseball and great for Seattle."
At the time of this writing there have only been three full tickets from this game submitted to PSA. This beauty has one equal with none higher. The white ticket has bold graphics and just the smallest hint of corner wear. Griffey Jr. was his generation's biggest star, and this ticket represents the feel-good moment of his career. Encapsulated by PSA, NM-MT 8.
