Tony Ventrella: This is not the first time this has happened to the Mariners. This team has and will come back. This year’s team is better than the ’95 version.
: Actually, there are two or three. On the first day I spent in Seattle, sort of being recruited by KOMO-TV back in 1980, they said ‘do you want to go to a ballgame at the?’ The Kingdome was cool then. They were playing the Yankees. And the Yankees weren’t very good in 1980 and neither were the Mariners. I remember there were about 4,000 people. And I’m thinking, ‘what a cool stadium, but nobody’s here.
So Game 1, the Pirates win 6-4. Game 2, Yankees win 16-3. Game 3, the Yankees win 10-0. The Pirates went on beat the Yankees 12-0. Next game, 6-0. The seventh game is at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. The game goes to the 10th inning, and a little-known second baseman named Bill Mazeroski hits a home run over the left field fence and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Yankees in one of the greatest upsets in World Series history.
But the Mets somehow beat the heavily favored Orioles in five games, and we called it magic. And the thing that people need to remember is baseball has magic. You cannot explain certain things like the bloop single that drove in three runs by Crawford and the clinching hit the other day. That’s why I love baseball.: Well, in my view, two things. The manager is No. 1. The M’s couldn’t have picked a more perfect manager.
Obviously, Julio being a super rookie and a great player for years to come is another thing that makes this team special. Then there’s the great pitching.: And I’m going to call it magic because how in the world do you explain some of the things that are happening here? There’s the home run that Raleigh hit that got them into the playoffs.
