Irrational to the last! Anyways, that's all I got on that.
For the Franchise Four, which I have no clue why it's that other than aliteration and the fact that another 30 people at a ceremony might suck, but mine would be...
- Edgar - Put the Mariners on the map in Seattle. And stayed in Seattle. Universally FEARED by pitchers, including The Pedro.
- RJ51 - Do you guys remember that the man caused TRAFFIC JAMS in the entire area for his games? Felix can barely fill much more than his Court. (Okay, I don't really mean that because the era has changed and everyone just watches at home on their Apple Watches, but you know it's true.)
- Griffey - Put the Mariners on the map in America. Griffey/Moose for '96! Made everyone in the 90s love baseball. And dat swing tho.
- Ichiro - Put the Mariners on the map in the World. Basically only team covered in Asia during his reign.
Felix is on the cusp for me because, as much as he's awesome and fun to watch, he's really not otherworldly in terms of pure thermonuclearness. Recently, I wondered if he'll be the M's version of Bert Blyleven, which is borderline diss territory. You wonder what his legacy will be if the M's are 100% inept during his entire career.
