Ken Griffey Jr.'s Hall of Fame suit game was itself worthy of Cooperstown image

At first glance, it appeared Ken Griffey Jr. was wearing a very normal (likely very expensive) pinstripe suit and tie for his induction Sunday into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Look closer, though. Those aren't pinstripes. 

Griffey posted a close-up of his suit to Instagram, revealing those "stripes" were actually a repeating message: "Hall of Fame Class of 2016."

Pretty cool, huh? Leave it to Griffey, an icon of cool in the '90s, to have the most on-point suit game in Coopersto—OH, MAN, LOOK AT THE TIE! IT'S THE SWINGMAN! 

Well played, Kid. Perhaps the whole ensemble should get its own display.
