Hello, my name is Jake Winters and I’ll be writing about the Seattle Mariners for the Baseball Historians network of baseball sites. I grew up in Oregon of all places and ever since I remember, I’ve been keeping tabs on the Mariners. I was too young to remember the teams start in 1977 but I remember watching guys like Al Cowens and Jim Beattie play.
In addition to covering the present day Mariners, I’ll also be looking at the teams 30 year history. We’ll go way back to that first Mariners team and examine the good and the (mostly) bad. Then we’ll see how things began to turn around when Lou Pinella came to town. We’ll also take a look at some great players that played for Seattle.
So I hope you stop by now and then. I’m happy to be joining the blogging community because I’ve been a huge fan of both U.S.S. Mariner and Lookout Landing for a while. And hopefully the Mariners can make some progress toward winning that division again.
