The main reason I love postseason baseball is watching a team or player I haven’t paid too much attention to rise to the occasion. This past weekend we all saw one of the greatest comebacks in postseason history, as the Seattle Mariners overcame an eight-run deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays in Toronto—and an ex-Pirate doubled in the game-winning RBI.
Adam Frazier, as we all remember, got traded before the 2021 deadline to the San Diego Padres in exchange for prospects Jack Suwinski and Tucapita Marcano. Last offseason, though, the Mariners, who had also pursued him, finally landed him, and Frasier jokes abounded.
