Turn Back The Clock Night — June 24, 2017 at Safeco Field
This Saturday night the clocks at Safeco Field will be turned back to 1977 as the Seattle Mariners face the Houston Astros, as the Mariners celebrate their 40th Anniversary throughout the 2017 season.
1977 Mariners
· The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays were American League expansion franchises that began play in 1977. They became the 13th and 14th AL teams; and 25th and 26th Major League teams.
· The 1977 Mariners, managed by Darrell Johnson, finished with a 64–98 record in the A.L. West, sixth place just ahead of the Oakland A’s.
· The Kingdome was the first indoor stadium in the American League, and quickly became known as a great hitter’s ballpark.
