Re: 122 Franchises Ranked Bottom to Top:
121. Seattle Mariners
Why?...Took almost 20 seasons in existence before having a winning season. Has largely been irrelevant for the past 15 seasons.
The Good....They once won 116 games in one season.
The Bad....They never won the pennant.
The Ugly....Nintendo owns 10 percent of the team, yet no one ever named Mario was ever super on the Mariners.
Where they play? Safeco Field (until next year). When the original Kingdome was falling apart, ownership threatened to move. Originally the public rejected funding for a new stadium. When the Mariners went to the playoffs for the first time, the public changed their mind.
Owner: John W. Stantion owns 90 percent of the team, making his money doing wireless stuff.
Manager: Scott Servais, a journeyman catcher in the 90's in his second season managing the Mariners
Top Current Player: Felix Hernandez, it should be noted that 90% of his body is covered in a neck tattoo
Hall of Famer...Ken Griffey Jr., Jr made the Mariners relevant for the first time in their franchise history hitters dingers and dongers in his prime. The Mariners have had their own set of stars in Ichiro, A-Rod, and Edgar Martinez, however the franchise has been irrelevant.
