Ryan Klesko was selected by the Mariners with the 9th pick in the 2056 draft.

Klesko retired in 2075, and enters the HOF, having played all of his ML games as a Mariner.

While classmate Francisco Liriano won a WS with the Mariners, Klesko was Ernie Banks. He set all sorts of franchise records, but never played in a post season.

It was not the fault of Klesko. He began his career by winning Rookie of the Year as a 19 year-old. He hit 35 HR and drove in 104 while batting .306. He would hit at least .306 that in each of his first 5 seasons. He would hit 30, or more, HR in each of his first 6 seasons. He would wind up with 10 30HR seasons for his career. He would also drive in at least 104 runs in each of his first 6 seasons.

In 2059 he hit a career high 58 HR. He drove in 139 and scored a career high 124 times. He slashed 313/404/675 (npa OPS+ 186). This would be his best slg% season. His OPS and OPS+ totals equaled his output from 2058.

In 2060 he had a career high, and league leading, 151 RBI off of 56 HR and a .310 BA.

For his career he had 556 HR (46th) and 425 doubles amongst his 2330 hits (t-86th Duke Snider). He had 1581 RBI (52nd, two fewer than Dale Murphy), scored 1408 times (58th, one more than Bob Watson), and had 1001 walks (72nd).

He slashed 291/370/562. He is one spot ahead of Mike Donlin on the career slg% list at #94. He is 97th on the career OPS list.

Klesko was named to 5 All Star teams. He enters the HOF at the age of 45.
