The Mariners have their mantra.
It wasn’t tested or strategized for popularity or viability. It wasn’t a product of a brainstorming session. It wasn’t forced. No, it’s a product of a statement meant to inspire a team and a fan base from the best player the organization has ever produced.
It was organic and heartfelt and perhaps why it’s become something more than passing words or a hashtag. It’s become the Mariners’ inspirational rally cry as they try to push their way to the organization’s first postseason appearance since 2001 — the longest current playoff drought in the majors.
