I couldn’t say with certainty what the best month in Mariner history is, but any discussion has to include Edgar Martinez’s August 1995. The slash line alone is unreal: .398/.560/.786. Another way to put that is that he got on base more than half the time for an entire month. Always a doubles machine (it’s no wonder that his franchise-defining hit, The Double, was a two-bagger), he hit 11 in just that single month. Add to that 9 home runs and 19 other hits and you get 39 hits that month. To me, the most mind-bending thing was his 31 walks—that’s more than a walk per game.
