Generally, I am right there with most of you wondering how in the world this team can be so unlucky. Just when we think the Mariners are on track, an injury occurs that throws the team we love off track. But this time my reaction was different. For some reason, as I saw Cano being evaluated by trainers I felt a sense of “they could be alright” as I flashed back to May 26, 1995.
It was a Friday evening and the Mariners were hosting the Baltimore Orioles. In the top of the 7th inning, outfielder Kevin Bass barreled up a Randy Johnson fastball and sent it toward the Kingdome’s right-center field wall.
