A still from the sports documentary THE HISTORY OF THE SEATTLE MARINERS capturing the full timeline of decades of history in the organization, its most beloved players, dances with playoff destiny and many low points for the team, which remains the only one in Major League Baseball to have never reached a World Series.Β

Wrote about the greatest sports documentary about the greatest team THE HISTORY OF THE SEATTLE MARINERS and spoke to its makers. It's a film for devoted stat heads and baseball romantics alike, a piece of art capable of making even a coldhearted sports fan cry πŸ“½οΈ

Mariners obviously helps the vibe, but change is possible. We can and will do it. ✊

Unfortunately stuck working. Thank you all for you No Kings sharing. Love to all of you protesting. Things are the way they are until enough people come together to change it. We are going to win.

Bryce Underwood just made the best throw I’ve seen in college football this year and Gus Johnson called it like he’s in a coma. This broadcast is unwatchable man.

Documentarians on why the Mariners are the β€˜weirdest, most outrageous team in the history of sports’ With the Mariners battling the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS, we spoke to the directors of the team's unofficial documentary about why the M's are special.

Thanks to Alex Rubenstein and, of course, @jonbois.bsky.social for talking to me about making what not only remains the essential portrait of the team, the city, the state, & the country half a decade later, but most certainly will for many more decades to come πŸ“½οΈ

My 17-year old threw his entire body into me when Geno hit that ball like he hasn’t done in 10 years and held onto me like a viper. This has been the best month or so of my adult life as a sports fan. Ok going to bed. No further elaboration at this time. Goms.
