k on Saturday in front of a sellout crowd again and the only certainty about this trip to the mound is that there will be tears.Hernández will become the 11th member of thewhen he’s inducted Saturday night. He may not talk for long, but it will be emotional. Which will be fitting because that’s the way Hernández pitched on the same field for the entirety of his career.
Hernández pitched 15 seasons for the Mariners, often the biggest star on a team that mostly underachieved. He went 169-136 in 418 career starts with a 3.42 ERA. He struck out 2,524 batters, and a better team around Hernandez might have made those numbers even more impressive. But his importance to the Mariners always went beyond the accolades and achievements. His connection with Seattle and its fans is deep, forged through a combination of on-field performance and off-field loyalty. For the majority of his career in Seattle, Hernández was appointment viewing for Mariners fans. For many of those seasons, he was one of the few reasons there was even interest in the team.
