In 1995, not many people in Seattle believed that the hapless ol' Mariners were actually capable of making history. The franchise had toiled in futility for 18 seasons ... until August of '95. The M's ate away at the AL West lead held by the Angels and, in a one-game playoff, beat the Angels to earn the Mariners' first playoff berth ever.
I was proud to be around that team almost every day ... and to write about their incredible achievement. It only further solidified my lifelong love of baseball and its daily theater. Some of my columns from that amazing '95 season were collected in a book: A Magic Season.
