The Seattle Mariners, established in 1977, have built a history defined by iconic individual performances, record-setting seasons, and one of baseball’s most passionate fan bases, despite still seeking their first World Series appearance. The franchise’s early years featured limited success until the arrival of Ken Griffey Jr., whose electrifying swing, Gold Glove defense, and 630 career home runs made him one of baseball’s most beloved and impactful stars. The 1990s Mariners teams, managed by Lou Piniella, showcased Hall of Fame talent with Edgar Martínez, one of the game’s greatest designated hitters, and flamethrowing ace Randy Johnson, who struck out 308 batters in 1993 and won five Cy Young Awards in his career. The 1995 season remains legendary in Seattle, as Griffey Jr.’s dramatic slide at home plate sealed the ALDS victory over the Yankees, saving baseball in the Pacific Northwest by fueling support for the construction of Safeco Field, now T-Mobile Park. The 2001 Mariners, led by AL MVP Ichiro Suzuki, who set the rookie record for hits and later the single-season record with 262 in 2004, tied the MLB record with 116 regular-season wins before falling in the ALCS. Despite postseason droughts, stars like Félix Hernández, the 2010 Cy Young winner, and sluggers Nelson Cruz and Robinson Canó carried competitive teams into the 2010s. The Mariners ended a 21-year playoff drought in 2022 behind young star Julio Rodríguez, whose power-speed combination and charisma signal a bright future alongside pitchers like Luis Castillo. From Griffey Jr.’s swing to Ichiro’s hits and modern playoff hopes, the Mariners’ history blends legendary players, iconic moments, and a devoted fan base still awaiting the franchise’s first World Series appearance.
