With a big game on Saturday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. passed 'Mr. Mariner' Alvin Davis in the baseball history books in this category.
The Mariners had great interest in acquiring Guerrero Jr. at the trade deadline but were not successful in prying him from Toronto. He's hitting .318 this season.
As for Davis, he was the first truly great Mariners player, which is what earned him the "Mr. Mariner" nickname. The 63-year-old Davis spent nine years in the big leagues, including eight with the Mariners. He made the All-Star team in his rookie year of 1984, hitting 27 homers and bringing in 116 runs by the end of it. He also hit 29 homers and brought in 100 runs during the 1987 season. In total, he had 160 home runs and had 683 RBI. He received MVP votes in two separate seasons.
He was the first member of the M's Hall of Fame, earning induction in 1997. He was voted the team MVP three separate times. As for the Mariners of today? They'll play the San Francisco Giants in the series finale with first pitch coming at 1:10 p.m. PT. Bryan Woo will pitch for the Mariners against former M's hurler Robbie Ray.: The latest episode of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast is out as Brady Farkas talks about the Mariners firing Scott Servais, hiring Dan Wilson and Jerry Dipoto getting to stay on the job.
