History

Historical Context

In 1995, after a wrist fracture sidelined him, Ken Griffey Jr. returned to spark the Seattle Mariners’ late-season surge that culminated in a one-game, 9–1 tiebreaker win over the California Angels to clinch the franchise’s first playoff berth. That comeback, echoing the “Double” that saved baseball in Seattle, set a precedent for today’s cautious reintegration of stars like Aaron Judge under manager Aaron Boone.
