Never thought there was such a thing as a distinction between "game used" and "game worn." It's a very valid point.
It's probably safest for MLB authenticators to use the phrase "game worn" when referring to uniforms, because if a player wore the jersey during the game, it was obviously game worn - even if he sat out the entire game.
On the other hand, his team-mate who played all 9 innings of the same game would be wearing a jersey that's just as "game worn" as his benchwarmer colleague's - but it would also be "game used" as well.
