Some Baseball Notes

Today baseball begins with an exhibition tilt between the Seattle Mariners and Oakland Athletics.

Tomorrow the teams play again. At that point some A’s notes as well as Phils/Rays.

In 1995, the Mariners won vs the Angels in a one game ‘off to win a one eighth division and make their first playoff appearance, in what was their 18th completed season.

Next the “M’s” advanced to their first ALCS, winning a maximum 5 game series vs the New York Yankees.

Seattle made two subsequent ALCS, losing each time to the Yankees. After the ’95 division series loss to Seattle, the Yankees under manager Joe Torre, won 4 of the next 5 World Series.
