Seattle Sounders FC today announced the addition of Ken Griffey Jr. and his family to the club’s Ownership Group. Griffey, a Seattle icon whose Major League Baseball career spanned 22 years – including 13 seasons with the Seattle Mariners – and saw him honored with 13 All-Star selections, 10 Gold Glove Awards and a berth in the Baseball Hall of Fame, adds his expertise as a new partner in the Rave Green.
“Ken Griffey Jr. is a name that requires no introduction, whether in Seattle or across the sports world, and we couldn’t be more proud to welcome Ken and his family into our club,” said Sounders FC Majority Owner Adrian Hanauer.
