| Comments |
| Jordan wore number 29 in 1996 for the Mariners. He played for the Phillies from 1988-94 (number 17). Although this bat is factory stamped "California Angels," it was used while Jordan played for the Mariners -- on April 26, 1995, Jordan signed with the Angels as a free agent, then was purchased by the Mariners on March 26, 1996. He never played a regular season game for the Angels. From the collection of Brewers Visiting Clubhouse Manager, Jim Ksicinski. |
