I miss that amazing run from 2010-2014...I mean I waited 54 years for that first Series win! Will I ever see the Mariners even get into a Series? How many years did my fellow SF Giants fans wait for that Series win over the Rangers in 2010?

My first Giants game was in 1972 and yes 2010 was a LONG time coming. made it so sweet.
I have always enjoyed the Mariners too (especially in the better world series and all star only AL\NL era) I use to have to travel to Seattle for work a ton and had the great pleasure of seeing the up and coming Junior, ARod and Big Unit Mariners in the old Kingdome and Griffey hit a walk off. Most exciting "not my team" sporting event i have been to. Later got to see both open roof and closed roof games at Safeco. Seattle is an awesome baseball city. finally got to see Ichiro inside the park HR in Pac Bell all-star game in SF. Ichiro was an absolute joy to watch play
