This Day in Mariners History – The Double & The Slide

One of the greatest moments in Mariners history happened 20 years ago on this day (October 8) in 1995 at The Kingdome.

“Swung on and lined down the left field line for a base hit! Here comes Joey! Here is Junior to third base, they’re going to wave him in! The throw to the plate will be…LATE! The Mariners are going to play for the American League Championship! I don’t believe it! It just continues! My oh My! Edgar Martinez with a double ripped down the left field line and they are going crazy at the Kingdome!
