Ken Griffey Jr.’s bat is back: Workers repair statue outside Safeco Field

Repair work on the Ken Griffey Jr. outside Safeco Field in downtown Seattle sculpture was completed this weekend after a man damaged the statue attempting to steal the bat in October.

Ken Griffey Jr. got his bat back Saturday.

The Mariners brought in workers from Two Ravens Studio, a sculptural design and art foundry in Tacoma, to reattach the bronze bat that was stolen from the statue that stands at the corner of First Ave. and Edgar Martinez Way outside Safeco Field.

In October, a man drunkenly detached and made off with the bronze bat … for about a block.
