The Essential Games of the Seattle Mariners

Since the Seattle Mariners first pitch on April 6, 1977 the Emerald City has witnessed the “M‘s” evolve from scrappy expansion franchise to establishing record-setting win totals. The bond between players and Pacific Northwest is apparent in an all-time roster so familiar, it’s on a first-name basis: Edgar, Alvin, Junior, Ichiro, Randy, Jamie, Jay, and Lou.

This four-DVD set showcases four full television broadcasts that mark glorious chapters in the history of the franchise and sit at the heart of the love affair between fans and ball club. Digitally preserved, the games are enhanced with the actual full-game radio play-by-play packed with memory-jarring “My, oh my!” and “Fly Away” celebrations.

FOUR ESSENTIAL MARINERS GAMES NOW AVAILABLE ON DVD!

VOLUME 1: 1995 AL WEST ONE-GAME PLAYOFF (October 2, 1995): “Refuse to Lose”–the surge of optimistic energy and clutch performances propelled the Mariners to a late-season charge, punctuated by this ear-popping one-game playoff to determine the champions of the American League West Division.

VOLUME 2: “THE DOUBLE” – ALDS GAME 5 vs NYY (October 8, 1995): The uplifting heroics extended from Edgar Martinez to Randy Johnson to Ken Griffey, Jr., to the get-engine-loud exultations of the delirious Mariners fans. From its taut start to the dramatic 11th inning finish, by every measure this game is an all-time classic.

VOLUME 3: HOME SWEEP HOME: 2000 AL DIVISION SERIES vs CHI (October 6, 2000): As the American League Wild Card team, the Mariners drew the top-seeded Chicago White Sox. Stellar defense, pitching, timely hitting, and one perfectly placed push bunt in the bottom of the 9th propelled Seattle to a series sweep.

VOLUME 4: RECORD-SETTING SEASON, DIVISION CHAMPIONS vs ANA (September 19, 2001): In the midst of establishing an AL single-season record for wins and in the swirl of emotions in their second game back after the terrorist attacks of 9/11–the Mariners climbed one more mountain: American League West Division Champions.
