Baseball season may be long gone and our hearts still full of bitter disappointment, but there’s al w ays our ’79 Mariners. So let’s indulge in some M’s nostalgia, shall we? Like the 1980 season, they didn’t fair all that well — winning 67 games and losing 95. On display here are a few scans from the one dollar 1979 souvenir program. You’ll recognize your favorite players — among them the one and only Mario Mendoza once again. Click on the images for larger versions. Blast! Now I’m hungry for a red hot. P.S. I gave the Vintage Seattle site design a spitshine. Here’s the old vs new. Thumbs up / thumbs down?
And, now, the completely pointless Mariner Baseball Awards for 1979!
