The Kid – Custom Vintage Rawlings RBG36 Ken Griffey Jr. Glove

A One-of-One Tribute to “The Kid” This vintage Rawlings RBG36 Ken Griffey Jr. model has been transformed into a one-of-one tribute to one of baseball’s most recognizable players. Dating to 2000 and showing little evidence of previous use, the glove provided an exceptional foundation for a custom restoration. It was thoroughly cleaned, carefully conditioned and hand-painted in a bold combination of deep navy and silver. The glove was then finished with contrasting teal-and-navy leather laces inspired by the colors forever associated with Ken Griffey Jr.’s years in Seattle. The relacing was completed on the MLB stage at Fanatics Fest, giving this glove a story that reaches beyond its distinctive appearance. Ken Griffey Jr.—known throughout baseball as “The Kid”—spent the defining early years of his career in Seattle and later returned to finish his career there. The Kid Colorway The navy-and-silver painted lettering creates a rich, understated foundation, while the teal-and-navy laces provide the unmistakable finishing touch. The completed colorway was designed to celebrate the effortless style, youthful energy and lasting connection to Seattle that made Griffey one of the most beloved players of his generation. This is not a factory colorway or a mass-produced commemorative glove. It is an individually customized vintage glove created by The Craftsman himself.

Confirm the throwing hand from the markings on your particular glove before publishing the listing. Exceptionally Preserved This glove appears to have been used very lightly, if it was used at all. The pocket, shape and overall construction remain in excellent condition for a glove dating to 2000. Because it is a vintage item, it may still show small marks, variations or signs of age. These characteristics are part of the glove’s history rather than defects. The buyer will receive the exact glove shown in the photographs. The glove may be displayed as a collectible or taken back onto the field. As with any hand-painted glove, regular play may eventually create natural wear in the painted finish. One Glove. One Event. One Tribute. Only one The Kid custom RBG36 exists. Its vintage Ken Griffey Jr. connection, Seattle-inspired colorway and Fanatics Fest provenance make it a distinctive addition to a glove collection—and a fitting celebration of a player whose style helped define an era. Once it is sold, this exact glove will not be recreated.
