The Seattle Mariners officially surpassed the Buffalo Bills as owning the longest playoff drought in major American professional sports (17 years).
So general manager Jerry Dipoto was asked about this predicament as the Mariners prepare for their 2018 spring training.
“We can’t be responsible for 17 years – we can be responsible for 2018,” he said.
“If we focus on the last 17 years, you get lost in the weeds. We are focused on what we are doing now and how we move ahead. And every day that regenerates. Every day is a new day. It’s like a chart of serendipity.
