I'll wrap this thread up by saying I've had a hell of a time following this team for over three and a half decades. Given the chance, I'd do it all over again 100%

This season has been a blast. I hope I'm able to add a few more "YEAHHHHH!" posts to this thread in two weeks.

Speaking of winning first world series, it's wild to me how many other franchises have crossed that off their to-do list since I first became a Mariners fan.

Angels, Astros, Rangers, "Expos," and Marlins have all tamed that beast.

Not to mention Cubs and Red Sox breaking their curses.

otw home, I gave up my seat so an old couple could sit together and the flight attendant slipped me a bottle of champagne as thanks.

I vowed to keep it and pour on myself once Seattle finally won the World Series! (check the alt text for more info)

I hope these don't sit unopened for much longer.

I semi-regularly went to a series in Seattle from 95-05. I've always been an east-coast guy, so it was a big trek for me every time.

In 2001, I timed it to get an Ichiro Bobblehead and camped out all night for it. I still have it bobbling-away on my desk!

I even got to throw out the first pitch for one of their games in Oakland in 2000!

It was a strike down the middle and I was floating on cloud 9 for YEARS after that, lol. I wish I had photos, but I do have a video clip at least!

On the way to the field, I got stuck in an elevator with Vida Blue.

There's just way too much for me to post everything.

I love some of the commentary I wrote in the margins. I was hyped over the Ichiro signing from the get-go!

The photos become color as the years progress, but there's something special to me about the earlier black and white newspaper shots.

The first serious batch of newspaper clippings start during the All-Star break of 1995 and capture the entire summer of their crazy comeback, plus all the box scores and articles from the ALDS & ALCS.

How in the world did young-Goob know that was going to be a summer worth remembering?!

It's wild how much stuff I saved.

Photos from my first MLB game ever (game 3 of the ALCS in Cleveland!), schedules, an ungodly amount of ticket stubs, books, toys, trinkets, etc.

Plus 3 photo albums of newspaper clippings, 30~ magazines with M's cover stories, & lots of printed Internet articles.

When I became a Mariners fan in the early 90s, I started scrap booking about my fandom.

I just had to go through all 3 full bankers boxes today.

The vast majority comes from 92-05. There's not as much from The Dark Decades, aside from some Ichiro, Felix, & 2022 stuff.

This is just 1 of the boxes.

Please tell me you understand that Kruse is heavily criticizing you in the skeet you just reposted.
