The Seattle Mariners are celebrating forty years of playing ball, a time of thrills and promise, and frustration. This book is a memory of the team’s revolving personnel, from key franchise stalwarts, to those handed jobs only to lose them soon afterward. The book delivers the background environment during the offseasons, and the team’s month-to-month performance during each campaign to serve as backdrop to the trades, signings, releases, waivers, drafts, and other transactions throughout the year.
