For the month of October 2024 several of us are participating in the 30-Day World Series Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we attempt to learn something about some aspect of the World Series. Today I am profiling the Seattle MARINERS.
Every franchise in the MLB has been to a World Series except the Seattle Mariners. The team has been in existence since 1977. The closest they came was in 2022 when they won a Wild Card Series over the Toronto Blue Jays.
World Series 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.
- Each day in October 2024 write about the World Series
- Share at least one fact about the event or the participants.
- If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms
October 11th-Seattle Mariners
Despite never making it to a World Series here are three interesting facts about the Seattle Mariners:
- The Mariners’ First Playoff Appearance Took 18 Years – The Mariners were established in 1977, but they didn’t reach the playoffs until 1995. That season, they won the AL West and made a dramatic playoff run, highlighted by their legendary comeback win against the New York Yankees in the AL Division Series, famously capped by Edgar Martinez’s series-winning double.
- Ichiro Suzuki’s Record-Breaking Season – In 2004, Mariners outfielder Ichiro Suzuki set the Major League record for most hits in a single season, with 262 hits, surpassing George Sisler’s 84-year-old record of 257. Ichiro is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters and outfielders in MLB history.
- The 2001 Mariners Hold the Record for Most Wins in a Regular Season – The Mariners won 116 games in the 2001 regular season, tying the 1906 Chicago Cubs for the most wins in a single season in Major League Baseball history. Despite their incredible regular season success, they were eliminated in the ALCS by the New York Yankees.
