Seattle's illustrious baseball history
Northwest baseball historian and collector Dave Eskenazi.
“Seattle was kind of late to the game in terms of Pacific Northwest baseball,” Eskenazi told KIRO Newsradio. “There was organized baseball in the late 1860s in Portland, in Oregon City, and in Victoria, BC, but Seattle’s real first organized team and game wasn’t until 1877.” When it was all said and done, the “Seattle Nine” had eked out an inaugural hometeam win over the visiting Lone Stars.
They couldn’t have known it at the time, but whoever called Seattle’s first baseball team the Alkis couldn’t have picked anything better, as history has proven season after season for the current home team. As in, “The Mariners will make it to the World Series someday.”“AL-KYZE” would be the accepted pronunciation in 2023; in the 1870s, the team name may have been pronounced “AL-keez” .
