I was too young to remember the prime of A-Rod, Griffey, Buhner, Edgar, and the Big Unit. “The Double” happened when my mom was pregnant with me. The only time I watched the Mariners in the Kingdome was 1998. I was two-years-old.
In fact, the clearest memory I have of the Kingdome is watching its demolition live on TV. I don’t even remember a good portion of the 2001 season, really.
The majority of my life has occurred during the Mariners’ 17-year playoff drought. I went from learning how to ride a bike to getting married at that time.
