40 in 40: Felix Hernandez

Felix Hernandez made his major league debut for the Mariners on August 4, 2005. He was 19 years old, and at the time was the youngest MLB pitcher in over 20 years. Felix gave up one earned run over 5.0 innings pitched, and earned the loss as the Mariners fell 3-1 to the Tigers. The Mariners put up three hits that game. Willie Bloomquist started at second base, and hit second. Scott Spezio played DH. Mike Morse started at shortstop. Yes, really. Mike Morse. Shortstop. The Mariners finished 2005 at 69-93.
