The Kid will be getting his bat back.
The Mariners confirmed that the statue of Ken Griffey Jr. outside of Safeco Field will be undergoing repairs this weekend. Details concerning the process have yet to be released.
On the early evening of Oct. 17, the massive statue, which sits at the front of the home plate entrance, was damaged when an intoxicated man broke the bat out of the right hand of the statue and ran off with the intention of keeping it. However, Kelsey Klevenberg, who was working in the King 5 building across the street, saw the transgression and chased down the perpetrator, later identified as Skyler Mamoru, and retrieved the bat.
