09/30/1983 - A groan went up from the Seattle crowd when the scoreboard updated with the Angels' victory over the Rangers as they knew their beloved Mariners had just been eliminated. Down 4-2, the Angels rallied for 2 runs in the 7th to tie the game and then scored the winning run in the 9th to win and clinch the AL West crown, ending Seattle's 2-year hold on the title. Seattle would have ceded the title anyways as they went down 3-2 to the White Sox leaving the bases loaded to end the game in the bottom of the 9th. This has been a disappointing season for Seattle as they had started off so strong. There will be some big discussions now on how to bounce back for next year.
