Seattle’s Mariners:
No longer doormat
of American League
By Rob Conner
Sports Editor
Northwest baseball fans have waited a
long time for a winner in the major leagues.
Make that a real long time!
The Seattle Mariners, for all intents and
purposes, have played the role of American
League doormat for all of their 8 years in the
major leagues. But there is something brew­
ing in Marinerville this season.
So far, that is.
How does one account for the
“surgence” (they have never surged before
so we can’t call it a resurgence) of Seattle’s
misfits in the early going of the 1984 season?
I just call it good old-fashioned hard-ball.
The Mariners are currently 7-3 and atop
the American League’s western division.
Their last two losses came in consecutive
one-run defeats at the hands of the Min­
nesota Twins. The M’s are definitely playing
quality baseball.
The big reason has got to be the early
heroics of the young pitching staff. The four
primary starters have combined for a 1.33
earned run average which has stimied rival
bats.
With the loss of Bill Caudill in an off
season trade, the bullpen was supposed to be
in question. Somebody forgot to tell Ed
Vandeberg. The lanky bullpen ace has been
nothing short of sensational in the early go­
ing of this ‘84 campaign.
With all of the youth in the Mariner
club, most people have forgotten that this
team does have some quality veterans. The
chemistry is conducive to winning games.
With the acquisition of Barry Bonnell
and Gorman Thomas, the Mariners have ad­
ded instant credibility to their lineup.

Bonnell, a perennial .300 hitter, came to
Seattle from Toronto. His big bat in the
lineup will help considerably, as well his ver­
satility on defense. He can play outfield as
well as infield.
Thomas came to the Mariners from
Milwaukee, where he felt he wasn’t being
given a fair shake. Thomas should have a
banner season in the long-ball department.
The big outfielder has been among the
A.L.’s top sluggers for the past five seasons.
Despite some nagging injuries that have
slowed the “big fella,” the close confines of
the Kingdome should be to Gorman’s liking.
One man that might be overshadowed
by the two new vets is one Mr. Al Cowens.
Cowens, a veritable superstar in his own
right, still has the range, speed and power to
play right field with anybody in the league.
Forget about last season when Cowens
failed to hit his weight. He will be back to
the form that made him one of the league’s
premier outfielders during the mid to late
70’s.
And how about some more bats? Try
the likes of Steve Henderson, Dave Hender­
son and young Ricky Nelson on for size. All
potential .300 hitters that can drive in 75
runs during the season.
Combine all of this talent with a
manager like Del Crandal, who single­
handedly did wonders with the L.A.
Dodgers farm clubs, and you have the poten­
tial for a contender in the A.L. West.
There will be no more softball in Seat­
tle, the Mariners are playin’ hardball in
1984.
