Then went to the Seattle area in the summer of 2000 - so, the 116-win team was my first full season as a Mariners fan - and have liked them too ever since, probably more so than the Giants now.
My first Mariners game was opening day in 2001, so I saw the first game and the first win of that 116-win season plus Ichiro's first game and first hit.

So you where there for that throw to 3rd base hmm?
I attended the first playoff game that year against the Indians when Moyer shut them down, I think 6-0 and every time a jet flew over Safeco Field everyone looked up (9-11 thing) but the crowd was so jazzed that season. Though it ended on a sour note.
