Peyton Waskey I had the VHS but I think my dad managed to steal it. LoL I need to go buy that DVD version I used to play it over and over. Especially that last minute. Still gives me chills....and I missed Dave Niehaus's voice.
@@rinoz47We drafted David Ortiz, but traded him for Dave Hollins at the 1996 trade deadline. Hollins played well here, but he was here for only two months. Also, we turned down a trade of Felix Fermin for Mariano Rivera. That would’ve helped with the bullpen.
I miss the teal,the kingdome,the games on CBS,abc and NBC,I loved the huge multipurpose stadiums,you could sit in the upper deck for $1 ahh those were the good days.
Really? I did not know that. See, i'm all the way on the east coast. And how I became a Seahawks fan was simple. My father always liked to root for teams that noone really followed and teams that weren't doing well. So when I was born in 78, 2 years after the expansion Seahawks made it into the league in the NFC, my father saw it and ran with it. And i've been a fan ever since. Now the M's on the other hand, I just went with them because they were a Seattle based team. Anyway, sorry to digress, i'm glad they went back with their old colors. Now if only the Seahawks would too... I miss the Grey and Blue and Green...
I just watched the Padres energize our city and it brought back memories of this magical season from my childhood. Ditto on the goosebumps comment. I only own two VHS tapes still (despite no longer owning a player) & this is one of them. Thank you for posting it!
During '95 mom would put out her broom and you couldn't call or visit during the games unless you came to watch. She was a true diehard fan. They had season tickets with my aunt and they went to almost all the games.
Props for putting this up man. Video of my childhood right here. Always makes me super emotional. 51:50 is incredibly bittersweet. What could've been...
I really miss listening to Dave Niehaus calling games. I didn't realize how good he really was til he was gone. The guy they have now, Dave Sims, is so bad that I would rather just press SAP and listen to the game in Spanish.
now i understand the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis song a little more. :) and i love this. Griffey is one of my favourite ball players. however Barry Larkin is my favourite. i liked Griffey when he came over to the Reds and he was brilliant then, but definitely when he was with the Mariners he was quite amazing.
They had a solid season and made the playoffs in 2022. In retrospect it couldn’t have been more fitting than clinching against Oakland. The Moneyball A’s prevented us from making a postseason in 02 and 03, and they kept us out of the wild card in 2014 and 2018. As for this year, we have a good pitching staff, but a mediocre to bad lineup. On top of a down AL West so far in early 2024 though. Also on a side note: If you told everyone before 1995 that there would be a point where the Mariners would still be in Seattle but the Athletics would not be in Oakland anymore; they’d call you nuts.
This core should have won a world series before 2001 if not multiple but thanks to the cheapness of ownership, star players left and then the Mariners are where they are now
It's too bad we never really had any one behind The Unit in the rotation. Even if we had gotten past Cle, Atlanta would've destroyed us with their 3 headed monster of Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz.
Ho many World Series did those 3 Destroy? Talk about a underachieving team. Atlanta should have won more than 1. And without Smoltz they'd have won none. The other two may have won more games but he was the best of the 3 by far.
