“The oldest and strongest emotion in mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown.” – H.P. Lovecraft
H.P. Lovecraft died in 1937, meaning he never got a chance to be a Mariner fan. If he had, and somehow cheated death all the way to 2018, he’d probably be rightly terrified. For this year’s iteration of the Seattle Mariners are traveling deeper and deeper into the unknown with each day, producing a jubilant fear in the hearts of fans learning how to process these emotions.
Baseball, almost by nature, is a game of ups and downs.
