Here are three quick thoughts on Mariners CEO Howard Lincoln, who according to source will resign Wednesday.
This is a seismic day in Mariners history.
For better or worse — lately, more of the latter — Howard Lincoln has been the man in charge of the Mariners since Sept. 27, 1999, when he was named chairman and chief executive officer, replacing John Ellis.
Now, after 16-plus years at the helm, Lincoln is stepping down and reportedly could be replaced as chairman by John Stanton, though it remains unclear to what extent, if any, the ownership would be restructured.
