The History of the Seattle Mariners: Supercut Edition
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2020
- A note from Jon: Alex and I have decided to slap all six parts of The History of the Seattle Mariners into one big 3-hour-40 minute cut, and we're now listing it publicly so you can watch it on your TV. It's totally free to watch, of course, but if you really want to get rid of some dough, check out our Mariners poster that was inspired by this series! It's $12, and it's only available through the end of September: store.dftba.com/collections/s...
The Seattle Mariners are eminently lovable, profoundly human, and outrageously weird. This is the story of the most fascinating sports team on Earth, as told by Secret Base’s Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein.

"This is not an endorsement of arson" sums up the Seattle Mariners quite nicely
If Citi Field catches fire again, you can say the same about the Mets
I gotta get that on a shirt
I was there for Felix's last court.
I was broke, out of a job and living in my grandparents house, two months from being kicked out. I posted on the Mariners Subreddit saying how much I wished I could go. And some good Samaritan messaged the day before the game offering me his extra ticket, his date backed out.
Being able to be in the last Kings Court and say goodbye to one of my childhood heroes is a memory I'll always cherish.
👍
I HOPE ALL IS GOING WELL
God bless sports for these moments.

I like how they make a story about toilet Jell-o sound like a horror story, and a story about three guys throwing up during a baseball game seem like a landmark historical achievement
I will still advocate that this deserves whatever kind of award possible at the ESPY's or literally whatever. This documentary single-handedly made me feel emotions for a team and a sport I've never had any real interest in before. Hands down one of the best sports media ever made as far as I'm concerned.
This series made me watch baseball
I straight up got goosebumps when they won the ALDS in this video. It was insane raw emotion
Absolutely spot on. That Ken Griffey Jr. driving away part (2:48:43 onwards) had me close to tears.
And I’m not an emotional person.
And I don’t follow baseball.
And before this, I’d never heard of Ken Griffey Jr. or the Seattle Mariners.
Well said @Pyrospriter042.
Sure... whatever you say.
Bro the reveal of Ichiro gives me absolute chills every time.
When I watched that episode for the first time, if not for the fact that I was at work, I would have screamed when they showed him on that film footage....it was unreal
Chills
Every. Time.

2:27:13 "The Seattle Mariners are not competitors; they're protagonists."
My favorite line. The perfect summary of this incredible video.
Almost sad that it buries "unless you let those limits go, you're an astronaut who brought your wallet," which is another all-timer.
Last night they lost me a huge bet. I added them in last minute.😡
@yankees29 you just watched a whole video on the misfortune of the Seattle Mariners and then decided to bet on them, so that’s your fault bud
We demand for a part 7. After seven thousand, six hundred, and fourty nine days, it has happened. Cal Raleigh to right field. The Seattle Mariners (86-70), have clinched a spot in the 2022 MLB playoffs.
Maybe if they win or something crazy happens
@@loromc7 They’re not going to beat Houston. But these three years alone definitely deserve their own part. The magical 2021, the mariners refusing to give up despite every stat imaginable saying they don’t belong, Kyle Seager’s exit, and then 2022, the year where the curse ended, the 14 game win streak, the trades for Castillo, Suarez, and Santana, Cal’s walk-off, the unbelievable comeback vs Toronto. Just maybe leave today’s game out.
@@firemarblefilms The game was DEVASTATING the other day. I hope they can rebound!
@@agoo7581 I don’t think they had a real shot against Houston with or without a game one win. Houston’s a way better team. But even if they get swept it’s a season that M’s fans should look back on with similar glasses as the ‘90’s teams.
Yeah now we really do after this game
2:00:00. Exactly two hours into this series, two hours TO THE SECOND, is when we met Ichiro. Impeccable. I’m in awe.
Aight technically you can see him at 1:59:59 but I don’t care
These guys are making art, and few notice.
I know Jon Bois talks a lot of music on Twitter... has anyone figured out which albums sync up with this movie yet?

Ichiro: _retires_
Also Ichiro: “Guess I’ll go die now”
He's gonna need his dogs permission for that
Well, he hasn't technically retired from baseball, he's coaching a high school team in Kobe now.
@@TheBrainSpecialist I hope he is a happy man there.
@@TheBrainSpecialist I've seen him hanging around a couple spring training games this season, so I believe he also still holds an advisor position with the Ms.

People really still don’t get it with the Mariners.
That 2022 team lost in the most grueling fashion possible.
And those fans stayed, chanting “Let’s Go Mariners” after the end of it all anyway.
That’s a type of love, from and for both an entire city and an entire team, that puts other fanbases of any and every sport to shame.
They broke the week-old record for most scoreless innings pitched in a playoff game in the 16th and 17th and then lost that record to the Astros in the 18th.
I've been a Mariners fan for a long time, and that was one of the proudest moments I've ever witnessed. Such a beautiful game.
I’ve got conscious memories of watching M’s games dating back to 1992 and that 18 inning loss is one of my half dozen favorite games in team history. Someone was gonna have to lose and it sucks that it was us but that was baseball at the absolute highest level on a beautiful fall day in front of 45k delirious, jubilant fans in a city that has been waiting for 21 years. If that doesn’t make you happy, nothing will.
Says you.
i absolutely get where youre coming from. moments like these show the untainted beauty of sports. and tbh for me it was massively surprising to read of a us team‘s fanbase doing something like this.
but (please dont be offended! :) i just want to make a statement and give some info) you clearly have never followed football in e.g. germany (soccer, for those that dont understand). actions like these are literally daily business for the fanbases of most bundesliga teams. even if they lose, play the worst games ever and so on - fans are still jn the stadium singing the team-song and chanting from the top of their lungs. the ultra‘s sit on top of the fences around the field, literally talking to players and explaining why theyre frustrated and trying to understand the players perspective. real love and compassion for their teams from real fans exists more often than you think and especially is shown in stadiums in ways like you portrayed fairly often at teams that have history, have a real connection to their hometown/region.
to be quite honest that just isn‘t the case in the US. most US teams may have large fanbases and a decent amount of fans that attend games regularly. but real compassion, chanting dozens of different creative, unique songs for their team…fans producing massive tifo‘s and choreographys spanning the entire stadium without any help from the club, staying at the stadium no matter the score and also staying for ages after the game is over, even after a loss. traveling to away games with thousands and thousands of fans just to support their team and help them win a game. literally flying halfway around the globe just to give them a better chance at winning. stuff like that and much, much more is absolutely normal in europe and especially germany, not just in the top flight but all the way down to the 4th/5th league. as i said - that just not is the case for US sports. sadly US sports is so extremely focused on economics and commercialized that genuine fan culture just is almost non-existent (or at least not in a manner and to an extent that is in any way comparable to football in germany or south america e.g.). just some food for thought
cheers dude, praying that your mariners can find some success and give those fans what they deserve
We did it Dave.
What
@@vsauce4678the Mariners finally made the playoffs again.
❤❤❤
Ll
Not even a Mariners fan, but Dave, baseball misses you. It’s never been the same. You truly left a mark nobody else couldn’t do half of.
Literally crying with joy when “Into the batters box, steps Edgar Martinez.”
I remember jumping up and down in my friends living room when Griffey scored. That was a crazy series, I think 3 games went extra innings.
Edgar was an incredible hitter. Just a machine. This is coming from a Yankee fan.
The Seattle Mariners: the only MLB team that play all their games in the Fumble Dimension.
The Colorado Rockies are the Mariners but throw in high altitude and you get the most outrageous seasons
This is baseball, no fumbles. They live in the error dimension
They must have found some glitch in 2001, but then God patched it out in the playoffs, and sent them back to hell.
@@snowflakepillow8697 success is allowed in the Fumble Dimension, it just has to be achieved in outrageous manner (ie the Lions only throwing to Calvin Johnson)
adrunkendonut At least the Rockies have a pennant.
This video made me realize that Ichiro was a Mariners fan before he was a Mariner. Then he got to be a Mariner. And then he got to play alongside one of his heroes. And now Ichiro is still a Mariner, even after being retired for years, still with the team everyday. It is beautiful. It is like Ichiro is living the dream all of us fans who grew up watching Griffey Jr. as kids or adolescents had, to get to put on that Mariner uniform and play alongside the greatest Mariners of the 90’s, Junior and Edgar.
Not only that, it’s was like having Lebron James be a fan of the Cavs growing up.
The most talented prospect/player in the sport, idolized the perennial bottom feeder team with few highlights in there history, and they WANTED to play for them.
I remember watching ESPN Baseball Tonight and all the pundits at the time said “Ichiro maybe a great hitter in Japan but he won’t be able to hit American pitching” Meanwhile he hits the ball to the catcher and gets a single 😂
Edgar Martinez was one of the best pure hitters I’ve ever seen play. Coming from a Yankee fan…I have so much respect for him and the way he played the game.
1:57:11 I wish the documentary had mentioned that Diego Segui was also the only player to play for both the Seattle Pilots and the Seattle Mariners. He pitched both team's first-ever game
excellent statistic ... i was a bit disappointed Alvin Davis wasnt talked about... OG Mr Mariner
Missing that is a bit embarrassing
It was briefly mentioned. When they said he was going to pitch the last game at the kingdome.
I had his baseball card; with the Pilots.
this is a philosophical piece about the meaning of sport more so than a documentary on the history of a baseball franchise
Well said
I agree. As a Yankee fan, od gladly watch a video of any team done in this format. Well done.
@@Rosecain27 plays oppoppopp plll
@Richard Naujoks. I totally agree. It leads into the point soo well too.
Very underrated sports documentary at that. Worth far more view time than it appears to have. Sports has been and can be soo much.
It really is.
I used to say the same things about the Cubs. I only wish I'd come up with anything as brilliant as "you're an astronaut who brought your wallet."
The fact that the Mariners won their 2021 opening day game on a walk-off walk is literally the most Mariners thing possible
They are on pace for 162-0
What do you mean? They’re usually the ones on the losing end of games like that. It’s Un-Mariner like of them to walk off at all, let alone on a bases loaded walk.
They have won 2 more games with walk off walks now this season and will by the looks of it. Miss the playoffs BARELY 😢
@Fries Gilbert looks amazing though. Next year Lewis returns and Kirby or Hancock might be called up along with Julio. We going places
@Fries Sounds like you were the good luck charm that turned the tide
As of October 1st, 2022, 12:30 AM, the Mariners have clinched a playoff berth for the first time in 21 years, and did so on a walk-off home run. You have to love this team.

They finally did it. The Mariners are back in the playoffs! I'm no Mariners fan, but I'm so happy for them, and I want to see them go far this October!
Clinching the playoff spot on a walk-off is the most Mariners thing possible. Now the only thing left is to reach the World Series.

Good luck M's hope you bring it home.
The Mariners whole story can be summed up with that "If I had a nickel for every (blank) I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice." meme
If I had a nickel for every toilet I’ve seen filled with jello, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice.

You SAW NOTHING!
yep 100%
now that you said it :D
That’s facts
Probably watched this 9 times by now and just noticed that during the Angels' epic meltdown that let the M's back into playoff contention in '95, their manager was Marcel Lachemann, older brother of jello boy Rene. It was an inside job all along.
That made me die laughing 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome to the club.
That's how they get ya.
Get used to be constantly in pain
Hahaa yessss!
wait are you being fr or sarcastic
This whole video is enough to make the toughest among us tear up, but for me it especially starts at 1:25:56. I'll never forget the closing lines: "This is a moment that belongs to another world, one where cycles close and stories end. Where there are heroes and the heroes win. A moment like this has no business in our world." That dialogue, plus the music gets me every time. Great job, guys.
agreed, the way that they made that hit by edgar feel like the most special moment in all of baseball is like nothing else in media. always makes me cry too
Heard those lines when it came out, right at the start of the pandemic when I was scared shitless inside. It hit me into a million different pieces.
gets me every time man
If the Mariners make it to the world series, we better have a day to reserve the stadium and watch this whole film on the big screen!
Got room for a Boston outlier on that day?
Yes! I gotta go to more baseball games in Seattle, the city I love ❤ 😍
If that happens, the guys who made this better slap on a conclusion of sorts, even if it tacks another hour to this.
Lets be honest,, that is NEVER gonna happen
@StingingDevilRays That's what everyone was saying 50 years ago.... they SUCK and they always will SUCK
Can't wait to watch this whole thing for about the third time
Why did my Dumbass think that the Mariners won the World Series when I was a kid
Bro I've watched this 3 times, but ive watched the Bob emergency like almost 20 times
Same
those are rookie numbers
Only third?
I appreciate that apparently Poseidon himself named the Mariners and retreated back to Atlantis
The season the Mariners just had in 2021 is the perfect story for a sequel. Team squeezes out 90 wins with a very negative run differential only to barely miss the postseason. The most Mariners thing you can do
Future is bright, team is young and hopefully will only get better. Still, the Mariners always had something funny or bad happened to them. Excited for next season though.
@@muhammadrifqi7308 Nothing would make me and baseball fans everywhere happier than to see the Mariners make the playoffs and pull off a deep run. I'd love to see my Cardinals play them for it all but speaking without bias I think a Padres/Mariners WS would be just really good for baseball in general.
According to Baseball Reference their "expected" win% for 2021 was .468, which means they *should* have won 76 games , which means their actual win total of 90 is +14 from their predicted win total - which is one better than that +13 season the Rangers used to deny the Mariners a playoff spot in 2016,
Because - Mariners
And after a bad start to this season, they went on a 14 game win streak before the break to thrust themselves back into contention and also made a huge deal by trading for Reds ace Luis Castillo.
Lets see where this'll lead.
@@SmoothCriminal12still holding the 2nd wild card spot might move to number one again if Tampa Bay loses tomorrow, they won the series with the guardians who are mediocre at best, Toronto has been choking lately so I like their chances this season.

"Freed from the oppression of being the Seattle Mariners for one night, they win 5-3" 😂😂😂 of course they did lmao
That is up there in quotes that perfectly sum up the Mariners with “of all these stories, which one are you telling first?” And “Alex. What the f*ck was that?”
Back again after game 162 😔. There's been a lot of moments this year that are worthy of being documented like in these videos. The rotary club rant, Jacob Nottingham's transaction hell, the Astros trade, Toro's walk-off, the September charge, Seager's exit...So many emotions. It's the darkest before dawn though 🙏
Best part of Ms season this year was watching Graveman pitch better than any other reliever for a calendar month and leading comebacks and locking down saves
I'm sure you heard, but the Mariners signed Robbie Ray. Things are looking bright. I hope they make another part of this to add on the recent teams
I was going to say, as a Cubs fan who's team just got dismantled I am hoping SO HARD that the Mariners finally get their playoff spot this upcoming season, like Seattle fans seriously deserve it

Mariners fans have been uplifted around the world by this video series. You've brought us out of the dark and provided a support system to buoy us out of depression and isolation, and spread the word of our weird gospel to the masses which almost validates the 45 years of incompetence and disappointment.

"Dave Niehaus can make an afternoon in August feel like game seven of the world series."
I was thirteen in the '95 season, and I lived about an hour from the King Dome, and jumping up and down and screaming at the TV while hearing Niehaus call that Luis Sojo hit against the Angels is one of the best memories of my childhood. The M's might not get a lot of "baseball things" right, but when they screw up losing, they make it exciting.
Who's here after the Mariners finally ended their 21-year postseason drought?
September 30, 2022. The Drought ended.
Since SB doesn't have any timecodes in the description, here ya go:
1 || 0:00:00 || *1977 - 1988* || _"This is Not an Endorsement of Arson"_
2 || 0:33:23 || *1989 - 1995* || _"Ken Griffey Jr. and his Quest to Save The Mariners"_
3 || 1:03:49 || *1995 (ALDS)* || _"The Battle For Seattle"_
4 || 1:28:02 || *1996 - 1999* || _"Building a Death Star"_
5 || 2:01:11 || *2000 - 2009* || _"The Age of Ichiro"_
6 || 2:48:32 || *2010 - 2019* || _"Entering The Great Beyond"_
Good man
I'm not even a Mariners fan but when I see the double and the video of Griffey and Ichiro I legitimately get shivers and shed a tear.
My god I know right!
I'm not a Mariners fan but Ichiro is straight up my favorite player of all time. As soon as I saw that Mizuno glove I knew what was coming and I got emotional.
Imagine being a fan dude its legit just crying
That was their first year ever in the playoffs. I was at game 6 against Cleveland when they were eliminated, no one left. The whole crowd stayed and cheered until the team came back out on the field. That was a fun year.
I hope they get to the Series some day but I'm not holding my breath
The first MLB game I ever attended was Felix's perfect game. I had no knowledge or interest in baseball at the time, but now I appreciate what an incredible gift that was.
Mariners ALDS
My Great Grandfather was a Yankee fan, My Grandfather was a Yankee fan, My Dad was a Yankee Fan, and I’m a Yankee fan, and this video made me get really excited when the Mariners won the 1995 ALDS
Same here man
I hate to spoil it, but the 135 seconds or so following the 01:59:00 point, mark what is probably the best story transition in all of sports documentaries, and it’s only because once the hints dropped, those of us who lived through it (including myself as an A’s fan,) instantly remember what’s about to follow.
That reveal is worth a mountain of Emmys alone. Master stroke.
Who else came here immediately after the Mariners clinched a 2022 playoff berth?
Choked again
@@cyberhype5495 :(
They found Roger this year! He is still alive, living back in his hometown of Bethlehem, PA. He is a private man, and has not come forward for any interviews or publicity, but the Mariners have offered him and his family an open invitation.
Yay!!!
Incredible! 🔱
I was like, wait I watched 3 hours and 40 minutes of the Seattle Mariners. Yes, Oliver, yes you did.
Well think of it this way, at least you didn’t spend that time watching a Mariners game
Whitsoxrule1 That is true.
Oliver?
Oliver Ni Oliver?
Oliver Plomer Oliver!
The Reveal of the 2001 season was genuinely bonechilling when I first saw it, the use of the music was great and it felt like it was 2 hours of build into just one of the greatest moments. Overall this video is stellar, and I came into this as a Brit with no baseball knowledge.....I now leave, likely a Mariners Fan.
“How can you not be romantic about baseball.”
We welcome you with open arms
You should strongly consider being a Yankees fan
@@maplebear6527 You're the worst kind of human
As a person who didn't care about the Mariners prior to 2001, that was a crazy freaking season to follow.
It was so brutal how they lost to the Yankees.
A nice story that came out of it was co-MVP Randy Johnson's D-Backs defeating the Yankees in the World Series. With game seven being one of the greatest MLB games of all time including Johnson, already with two great starts, coming on in the eighth to hold the Yankees and the hitters coming to life and scoring the tying and walk off runs against the best closer baseball has seen
The most Mariners game in Mariners history
Here Comes A New Challenger!!!
looking forward to the 'big dumper' chapter in the next addition to this
this series made me a mariners fan. I can’t begin to explain how beautiful it is
Welcome to the pain!
Mr. Bones I’m so scared rn. This is so f*cked, I just got a google alert for the Mariners game, and I’ve never even searched anything about them. RUclips is a google thing right, so I think they use our comments as specialized info
Me too!
Thank you! Been following them since Juniors first year in 1989. I opened a pack of 1990 Upper Deck cards and pulled his 2nd year card out. It was the highest value card in the set even back then. That moment changed my life. That was the moment my love for Junior started. I cried when he made the HOF. Just so you understand.
Wanna hear something crazy? Junior is one of my 2 favorite people of all time. The 2nd is Duane Allman of The Allman Brothers Band. Their birthdays are 1 day apart. Nov 20 for Junior and Nov 21 for Allman. Talk about a coincidence!
Jon and Alex. I gotta say during lockdowns, back in April and March this was the only thing I would look forward too. It provided a true sense of normalcy and was the ultimate distraction to such hard times. I cried at the end of eposide 3 as it gave me such a deeper understanding of the true beauty of that moment. Just thank you so much for the this. Never stop making content :)
Bro I was tearing up last night watching it for the third time!
Corona is far from over
Jesus christ man, what are you going to do when you see actual hardships if getting to sit about at home & watch RUclips is hard for you.
@@WillJM81280 I don't believe our friend is telling us the details of what's making their life difficult at the moment and that's ok. I hope both of you are doing well in these tough times.
MARINERS PLAYOFFS 2022 BABYYYYY!!!!!!!
I’ve watched this 6 times and it’s just as good every time I watch
Same
Re: Seattle Pilots, it's worth mentioning the role Bud Selig had in the move. He wanted a team back in his hometown Milwaukee.
He redeemed himself when he named the DH award after Edgar.
@@EchoesDistant Did he though? I mean, compared to Manfred, he's a saint, but did he really redeem himself?
1:40:43 "At 103.5, Randy places in FM radio territory."
This is why I have to watch this multiple times haha. I always pick up something new that I missed the other times.
Why in the hell have I watched this 5 times now. Yes in its entirety!!! This will never get old!!!
Holy shoot it’s September 30th and the Mariners are officially tied for the second wild card spot… For a franchise with so much star power, making the playoffs with a team who’s only all-star has a 4.41 era would probably be the most Mariners thing ever
Angels said hold my beer 💀
Are we ever getting that lost "Stanislav Petrov" episode of Pretty Good back? I never saw it and I desperately need too
I've never seen it either. I'd love to see it so much. Stanislav Petrov was an amazing man.
Just an update for the curious, I asked Jon this question on a Q&A and this was the answer:
"sadly, i think it's unlikely. it would necessitate a total remake and i probably can't set aside the time to do so. appreciate the interest though!"
A sad fate, but I understand not being able to go back and re-do such an old video when they're working on gems like this
Don't worry: Emplemon made the definitive version of it
Oh, so that was the missing episode
Brandon - definitive is ok but pretty good would be even better
Please do this for the Cleveland Browns, a franchise that enjoyed nothing but success pre-super bowl era with nearly nothing but historic failure ever since.
It's not a 4 hour epic like this masterpiece, but if you havn't yet, check out the "The Browns Live in Hell" Chart Party
They did a chart party on us but it is before our current resurgence. Although a resurgence implies a previous success, so I guess I'm reaching back to Jim Brown or Bernie Kosar.
Jon and Alex. I gotta say during lockdowns, back in April and March this was the only thing I would look forward too.

@@devanwelch4049 a resurgence for the Browns means we just got to .500 again
Another good team would be the Atlanta Falcons
I'm a Mariner's fan and this is my first time coming across this video somehow, I have the feeling I'm in for a treat lol
Watching this to prepare myself. It's finally over!
The stretch from 1:24:10 and 3 minutes later will never not make me cry.
The music that kicks in at Edgar's hit at 1:25:07 gets to me, for sure. It has been paired with many a great moment in Jon Bois' videos.
This honestly might be the single greatest sports documentary of all time. That Ichiro intro gives me chills everytime.
i'd honestly argue for it to be the best docuseries to ever be posted exclusively to youtube. i've sent this to people who aren't sports fans and they've been absolutely enthralled after the first episode, it truly unites people
Folks the date is September 30th 2022 and I finally get to say it… THE SEATTLE MARINERS ARE BACK IN THE PLAYOFFS BABY!!!🥳🥳🥳🎉🎉🎉
idk how many times I've watch this, nor do I know how many times I will, but all I know is, this is the greatest sports doc of all time IMO
don't even really watch baseball btw
I watch it every month along with a few other movies that I make sure to watch every month.
The use of music in this just elevates it to another level. I can't wait for the Atlanta Falcons Dorktown special.
Ik it’s absolutely perfect, one of the best sports documentary’s I have ever seen.
The Falcons one turned out great
Screw extended edition Lord of the Rings. This is the best 4-hour movie.
Cyrus Rule how did you comment before the video came out.
It was on Secret Bases website. It was a private video but there was a link.
My, oh my.
This documentary makes me so… melancholy, like I’m seeing a different world, a world that isn’t real, can’t be real. Yet somehow I can perceive it, almost touch it. I want to cry in joy for the revelation, and scream in despair.
yeah as a fan for over twenty years I've always wanted people to leave 1995 and 2001 behind, gotta try to focus on building the best roster possible and not give them the burden of a history of a franchise that's troubled simply because it exists. Still, without that 95 season (and political maneuvering) the Ms probably never would have stayed in Seattle.
I cry at Ken and Ichiros friendship. It’s like the Punisher and Amy Bendix.
As someone from Seattle, this is both really cool and really sad for me at the same time.
Really cool and really sad, just like Seattle
"Into the batters box stepped Edgar Martinez"
Every single time, I have to turn it away right around there before i start tearing up
I’m so glad this was made. This feels like a tangible way of explaining the impossible, why I’m a Mariners fan.
There has been plenty of heartbreak. Players underperforming, the front office making miserable moves and ownership refusing to show a commitment to winning. Yet here we. Beaten, battered and bruised. Yet our love persists, with plenty of scar tissue to show.
goms
this made me a baseball fan, and made me a mariners fan. the absolute best thing on youtube without a doubt
the last dance is one of the greatest sports documentaries ever and is the second best of 2020.
Update: An article published on March 30 of 2023 reveals that Mariners name contest winner Roger Szmodis is alive and well in Pennsylvania! He leads a private lifestyle, with even his family not knowing that he never claimed the prize for naming the team.
2:40:18 this moment gives me goosebumps. not quite the double level, but Dave's pure emotion, Blowers just giggling like a little boy in disbelief. Just unreal vibes. Thanks Niehaus, Blow, and Tui for that one
Minor correction: that isn't actually blowers laughing, despite what the video implies; it's actually longtime Ms radio sportscaster (and protégé & friend of niehaus) rick rizzs.
That video though is the first time I've ever heard him laugh like that though, which is An Experience.
seattle mariners
@@rickymrreporterrickymrreporter Yep! 👍
