ichiro meets griffey jr. for the first time. griffey gives him a jersey and at the 5:53 mark ichiro (via his interpreter) asks him if it's game-worn. griffey nods in the affirmative. clearly, ichiro couldn't be more ecstatic at receiving a griffey gamer. oddly, the jersey has a UDA sticker on the back and at around the 6:45 mark you can see a retail neck tag and it seems to lack any strip tagging typically seen on mariners shirts of that era. to make it even worse, it seems ichiro may have given griffey one of his orix gamers! poor ichiro! seems griffey wasn't just pawning his procuts off on collectors.
rudy.
