Seattle Mariners: If the AL West was a family
The AL West has been an interesting division in years past. And since the Mariners ruled the West in 2001, the division has seen a lot of variety.
The A’s had a couple years of West glory in the early 2000’s. Once the Angels splashed Vladimir Guerrero, they wore the crown with pride for five of the next six seasons.
After Vlad departed for Texas, he took the division crown energy with him. Texas not only won the West the next couple seasons, but the pennant as well. Shortly after, the A’s stormed back from out of nowhere to finish off an unreal AL West crown and rob the Rangers of their third straight.
