Mariners Exit Interviews 2019: The Injured Smiley Boys

Rashida Jones once said, “Just because a situation is grim doesn’t mean you don’t have every right to smile.”

This tender morsel of warmth might as well be tattooed on two of the Mariners’ biggest and best smilers: Ryon Healy and Dan Altavilla. Injuries limited both of their 2019 seasons, much to the chagrin of smile-deprived fans and orthodontists everywhere. Instead of getting a chance to rebound from their frustrating 2018 campaigns, both Healy and Altavilla had their Chip Skylark-looking-ass faces tethered to the training table. Something tells me that even when getting depressing news about their physical setbacks, both of the smiley boys managed to keep their trademark smiles plastered on.
