1982	-	In the first Mariner milestone since Opening Day 1977, the crafty Gaylord Perry became the 15th pitcher in history to claim his 300th career win in a 7-3 victory. In the win, Perry went the distance against New York striking out four and walking one.  1982 stats >
1983	-	The year of the USS Mariner stationed beyond the outfield wall, designed to fire a cannon after every home run and the bullpen tug created to transport pitchers from the pen into the game. It was also the year the club saw its third midseason manager change as Del Crandall replaced Rene Lachemann. Seattle finished with a 60-102 record.  1983 stats >
1984	-	The Mariners pose harborside. Seattle's first legitimate star arrived on the ML scene as first baseman Alvin Davis captured the hearts and cheers of Seattle fans everywhere. The first inductee into the Mariners Hall of Fame, Davis produced 126 RBI, 27 home runs and a .284 average. He was also named Rookie of the Year and to the 1984 All-Star team. Other familiar faces made their mark in 1984 as Mark Langston (17-10, 3.40) took to the mound while future Mariners' announcer Dave Henderson patrolled the outfield.  1984 stats >

A banner year for the Mariners as Seattle produced a then club-record 78 wins behind two young All-Stars in pitcher Mark Langston and infielder Harold Reynolds. The dominant Langston was 19-13 with a 3.84 ERA, while the speedy Reynolds stole a club-record 60 bases. It was also the year Ken Griffey Jr. entered Seattle's minor league system and Edgar Martinez made his way to the Major Leagues.  1987 stats > 1988  - Slugger Jay Buhner came to Seattle from the New York Yankees in what turned out to be one of the most lopsided trades in club history. Harold Reynolds tallied another All-Star appearance and Jim Snyder took over as manager in June. Seattle finished sixth in the AL West, posting a 68-93 record.  1988 stats > 1989  - A young Ken Griffey Jr. impressed new manager Jim Lefebvre during Spring Training, making the Opening Day roster and launching a new era in Mariners baseball. Junior tattooed his mark on the club immediately, hitting his first ML home run on the first pitch he saw at the Kingdome. The Big Unit, Randy Johnson, also arrived, going 7-9 with a 4.40 ERA. Seattle was 73-89 on the year.  1989 stats > 1990  - In what was described as a ragged but dominant performance, LHP Randy Johnson recorded the club's first no-hitter on June 2, defeating the Detroit Tigers with a six-walk, 136-pitch outing. Family history was next on the list as Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. became the first father and son to play together on the same team.  1990 stats > - For the first time in club history the Seattle Mariners finished the season above .500 taking home a modest 83-79 record.

Seattle placed fifth in the AL West at 83-79.  1991 stats > 1992  - Edgar Martinez at the plate. Edgar Martinez joined Ken Griffey Jr. as an All-Star and also earned a Silver Slugger Award and earned the first batting crown in Mariners' history, slapping out a .343 average. With new manager Bill Plummer at the helm, Seattle recorded a 64-98 season.  1992 stats > 1993  - The fiery Lou Piniella rolled into town as the Mariners' new skipper and immediately paid dividends by guiding the club to 82 wins. On April 22 pitcher Chris Bosio, in just his fourth start as a Mariner, walked the first two batters faced and then proceeded to retire the next 27 for the club's second no-hitter. The game ended on a bare-handed grab and throw by shortstop Omar Vizquel. Seattle was 82-80 on the year.  1993 stats > 1994  - Not only was the season shortened by the MLB strike, but so was the Mariners' home schedule. On July 19, just three hours before game time, the first of four 15-pound Kingdome tiles fell to the ground. The game was postponed and the Mariners played the remainder of the season on the road.  1994 stats > 1995  - A historic year for the club as the Seattle Mariners earned their first American League West title, defeating the Angels in a one-game playoff. It was also the year Seattle won a Division Series against the Yankees in one of the most exciting postseason series ever. Seattle overcame a 5-4 deficit in the 11th inning, scoring two runs on an Edgar Martinez double down the left field line, to take the decisive Game 5. Lou Piniella was named Manager of the Year and Randy Johnson took home the Cy Young Award.  1995 stats > 1996  - Seattle earned a then club-record 85 wins but took second in the AL West behind the Texas Rangers. The Mariners sent outfielders Jay Buhner and Ken Griffey Jr., DH Edgar Martinez, shortstop Alex Rodriguez and catcher Dan Wilson to the All-Star Game. Rodriguez took home his first Silver Slugger Award and the AL batting crown by hitting .358 with 36 home runs and 123 RBIs.  1996 stats > 1997  - Seattle returned to the playoffs, winning the AL West with a club-record 90 wins.

Griffey was named the American League MVP and Edgar Martinez was named Designated Hitter of the Year.  1997 stats > - Despite a disappointing season in which it finished 11½ games back in the AL West, the club posted some impressive individual numbers. Alex Rodriguez became just the third player in Major League history to join the 40-40 club as he hit 42 home runs and stole 46 bases. Ken Griffey Jr. became the third player in the 50-20 club with 56 home runs and 20 stolen bases. He was also the youngest player to reach 350 home runs. LHP Jamie Moyer earned his 100th win and 1,000th strikeout and Edgar Martinez tallied another Designated Hitter of the Year award.  1998 stats > 1999  - The Mariners began a new chapter in club history closing out a 22 1/2 year run in the Kingdome on June 27 and opening their new open-air ballpark SAFECO Field on July 15. Lou Piniella became the 14th manager to earn both 1000 wins as a manager and 1000-ML hits as a player. Ken Griffey Jr. earned his ninth Gold Glove and his seventh Silver Slugger. Alex Rodriguez tallied his third Silver Slugger and rookie pitcher Freddy Garcia served up a club rookie record 17 wins (4.07 ERA). Seattle finished third in the AL at 70-83.  1999 stats > 2000  - John Olerud on his way to first base. Boasting a fresh roster, featuring pitchers Aaron Sele and Kazuhiro Sasaki, outfielder Mike Cameron and first baseman John Olerud, the Seattle Mariners embarked on the first full season at SAFECO Field. Returning to the playoffs, Seattle captured a wild card berth, swept the Chicago White Sox in the AL Division Series and pushed the Yankees to six games in the ALCS. Japanese closer Kazuhiro Sasaki was named Rookie of the Year, John Olerud earned a Gold Glove and Alex Rodriguez collected his fourth Silver Slugger Award.  2000 stats > 2001  - With a virtually unknown outfielder from Japan named Ichiro Suzuki joining the team, the Seattle Mariners opened the 2001 season as prohibitive underdogs to the defending division champion Oakland Athletics. Ichiro became an instant hit with his bat and strong throwing arm, second-time-around Mariner Bret Boone had the best season by a second baseman in American League history and the Mariners won an AL record 116 games in a truly remarkable season. Veteran left-hander Jamie Moyer became the franchise's second 20-game winner, but wasn't one of the eight Mariners selected to the AL All-Star team. Freddy Garcia was the starter and winner of the Midsummer Classic played at SAFECO Field and reliever Kazuhiro Sasaki collected the save. The Mariners captured their third AL West title, fought back from the brink of elimination in the best-of-five Division Series against the Cleveland Indians, advancing to the AL Championship Series, falling in five games to the New York Yankees. Ichiro missed by one vote of being a unanimous Rookie of the Year selection but made up for that by being named as the league's Most Valuable Player. Lou Piniella was voted the AL Manager of the Year and General Manager Pat Gillick the Executive of the Year.  2001 stats > 2002  - The Mariners won 93 games in 2002, the second-best total in club history. The 93 victories also made it 300 for the club over its last three seasons (91 wins in 2000; 116 wins in 2001), just the 16th time that has been accomplished in Major League history. More history was made May 2 in Chicago when Mike Cameron and Bret Boone became the first duo to hit back-to-back home runs twice in one inning. Cameron finished the game with a record-tying four home runs, becoming just the 13th Major Leaguer to accomplish the feat. The fans in the Pacific Northwest turned out in record numbers as SAFECO Field drew a Major League-best 3,540,482 fans, setting a new franchise mark. First baseman John Olerud won his third consecutive Gold Glove while second baseman Bret Boone and outfielder Ichiro Suzuki each won his second straight.  2002 stats > 2003  - The highlight of the Mariners' 2003 season was having the five-man starting rotation start and finish the season as a group. Right-handers Freddy Garcia, Joel Pineiro, Gil Meche and Ryan Franklin, along with left-hander Jamie Moyer, were the first five-some since the 1966 Dodgers to start all 162 regular-season games. Moyer, who in 2001 became the oldest pitcher in MLB history to reach the 20-win plateau for the first time his career, did it again in '03 and went one better. He finished the season with a 21-7 record and earned his first All-Star Game appearance. Meche landed the AL Comeback Player of the Year Award, becoming the first pitcher since Whitey Ford in 1954 to win at least 15 games after not winning any games the previous two seasons. Second baseman Bret Boone led the team in home runs (35) and RBIs (117). The Mariners led the AL West (134 days) longer than anyone in the division and won 93 games for the second consecutive season. But they couldn't hold off the Athletics and fell two games short of the AL Wild Card playoff berth.  2003 stats > 2004  - Ichiro Suzuki made history again in 2004 by breaking a record that lasted 84 years. But, unlike his breakthrough season in 2001, this time his exploits were lonely highlights for the Mariners. Ichiro passed the single-season record for hits set by George Sisler in 1920 with his 257th and finished with 262 while claiming the American League batting title with a .372 average. The Mariners as a club struggled, falling swiftly down to the AL West cellar with a 53-99 record. While Ichiro chased the hits record, all-time Mariners great Edgar Martinez played his last games in a Seattle uniform, capping it all off with a special season-ending weekend in his honor. Following the season, the club dismissed second-year manager Bob Melvin and replaced him with longtime American League skipper Mike Hargrove.  2004 stats >
