Seattle Mariners Dorktown Review: The Missing Years

I feel with Episode 5 of the Seattle Mariners Dorktown Review, of 6, the Missing Years would be defining, as missing a World Class World Series (Chicago White Sox vs. Montreal Expos), missing a Dream Atlanta Braves vs. Seattle Mariners World Series more than once, quenching Roger Maris's American League Home Run Record and the Jello Climb of 393 Wins without a Single World Series.

It would not have been the same story in the history of stories had it not been the Subway Series or even the America's Series, and I would feel had Ichiro been a Major Leaguer Sooner, he would have destroyed Pete Rose's Hit Record and Ken Griffey,Jr. being healthy would have made 756 as a Red.

That would have been a Cubs Like Hold on the Record Books that would have bordered on unhealthy, especially when we got it most any other way, no questions asked. The older historians where shocked George Sisler's Hit Record for a Year was Broken in the fashion it was broken and still is.

The 90 Win Infamy still means that the Montreal Expos have not won a Series, the Pittsburgh Pirates have not seen a Postseason Series since 1992, and the Seattle Mariners have big cratered and not done Postseason Things. You'd have to remember the story would come in bunches and those bunches would have included Roger Clemens rocketing out of control and losing his image, and we wouldn't have President Bush the same if it was the Mariners.

Not all of it is sweet, and the predicted Play Card was not anything Babe Ruth ever did. In Chapter 6, we'd get King Felix, which was gift and annoyance, especially when most of us wanted Postseason King Felix, which was unrealistic, and the 1st Interleague Unit No Hitter.
