TORONTO -- Every so often in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse, the "Top Gun Anthem," full of soaring guitar notes and pick-me-up vibes, will randomly blast from inside a locker. Everyone knows the culprit. Jorge Polanco, the Mariners' veteran second baseman, is not a fan of silencing his phone.
"But he loves Maverick and Iceman," Mariners star Cal Raleigh said.
Nobody really minds. When a player is doing what Polanco has done this postseason -- rescuing the Mariners from the danger zone seemingly daily, with his latest trick a go-ahead three-run home run that paved the way for a 10-3 victory Monday -- his ringtone could be Limp Bizkit and nobody would utter a peep.
