It may have been a long time ago, but Mariners fans still remember the extra-inning dingers of Jay Buhner in the1995 ALCS and Edgar Martinez in the 2000 ALDS. They were epic moments at the time, and now they have become iconic plays that M’s fans always remember.
1995- Jay Buhner Three-Run Shot In The 11th
In 1995 the Mariners flipped their history on its head. In the eighteen years between then and becoming an MLB franchise in 1977, the Mariners had finished with a record above .500% twice (in 1991 and 1993). They had never finished above third place in the division, and, most importantly, they had never made the playoffs.
