Sorry, Seattle Mariners, your World Series trophy is in another castle. And if Bowser is in that castle, it would be the most on-brand one of these we’ve done.
The Mariners didn’t win the AL West this year, but they hung in there, surviving until the end and competing for a wild-card spot. For a team with blemishes, and new leaders both in the front office and in the dugout, that has to be taken as a positive. They finished ahead of the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals and the much-hyped Houston Astros.
