Seattle Mariners Tickets

2009 Seattle Mariners MLB Preview:
The 2009 Seattle Mariners should be a much, much better baseball team than they were in 2008. If new Manager Don Wakamatsu can get the M's hitting and pitching up to their potential, then watch out for Seattle to make some noise out West. Two of Wakamatsu's biggest names will be ones every Mariners fan is familiar with: Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki. Griffey Jr. returns to Seattle, where he began his career, to join Suzuki in the Mariners' outfield. If Griffey can find the magic he once had in Seattle, and Ichiro shakes off some early season injuries, then the Seattle Mariners might be talking World Series in the near future.

The Seattle Mariners play baseball in the West Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The Mariners franchise was founded in 1977 as part of the league expansion that included the Toronto Blue Jays. The expansion was a direct result of the furor created in Seattle when the Pilots were moved to Milwaukee and became the Brewers. Seattle saw its first success in 1995 with Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson leading the team to its first ALCS after beating the Yankees with the famous play known as “the Double” when Edgar Martinez doubled and drove Griffey home to take the team to the AL Championship Series. The Mariners look to relive that glory and more in the coming seasons.

The Seattle Mariners play their home games at Safeco Field in downtown Seattle, Washington. Safeco is provides fans with a unique experience for a game. It is one of only two stadiums in the world that has a retractable roof that doesn't completely enclose the stadium. A home run can actually be hit out of Safeco while the roof is closed! Safeco has all the modern amenities a baseball fan could want and is in close proximity to Pioneer Square and other downtown Seattle destinations.
