The Mariners Hit a High Note

So the Mariners season has been nothing short of depressing this year. As a result the General Manager, the skipper and the hitting coach have all lost their jobs. The Mariners have scrapped together only a handful of wins and are on pace to have the worst record in Mariners history. So why keep watching? Well every now and then something amazing happens.

June 23, 2008 - Game 1 of a 3 Game interleague series vs the Mets at Shea Stadium. Felix Hernandez (Seattle Pitcher) comes to the plate looking for his second career hit....



An opposite field grand slam. The first time an American League pitcher has hit a grand slam since 1971. Incredible.

He's the one guy we WON'T fire this year.
