The Seattle Mariners enter the great beyond | Dorktown

Felix Hernandez, the hero of the modern-day Mariners, did everything he could to drag them into the playoffs. Lord, how he tried. He never made it happen, because no one man ever can. But to call them cursed, we’d argue, would be to miss the point of the Seattle Mariners entirely. Notes/corrections: • 29:11 – The chart here makes it look as though the concurrent Mariners and Rangers streak lasted 12 games. This is because this chart is plotted by game number, rather than by date. On July 20th, the date of the Mariners’ 11th consecutive loss, the Rangers’ winning streak had actually already ended. They had already played a couple games more than the Mariners by that date. • 41:10 – Minor script error. I meant to say that Edgar didn’t play his first full major league season until age 27. He appeared in the majors for brief stints at age 24 and 25, and played just under half a season at age 26.
