The new Ken Griffey Jr. MLB The Show 19 card will be part of the Sixth Inning Bosses program. Two other players will be revealed as “Bosses” for this when the update arrives on Thursday.
Gamers should be able to easily find this on the game’s main menu where all of the content is displayed.
The Bosses are available through completing the 6th Inning challenges or missions as outlined in that mode for the game. For the 5th Inning Program, gamers had to collect 300 points through completion of various challenges.
Once they reached that level, they were able to choose from one of three Bosses: Josh Donaldson, Bob Gibson, or Lou Gehrig.
