The Mariners radio call was absolutely epic as Seattle beat the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 2 of the AL Wild Card to advance in the MLB playoffs.
There’s no better story in the MLB playoffs this year than the Seattle Mariners, a team that hadn’t been to the postseason since 2001.
They made it in but still had a hill to climb in the AL Wild Card against the Toronto Blue Jays. They climbed that hill with some flair.
After picking up an advantage in Game 1, they spotted Toronto and 8-1 advantage before turning the tables and storming back for a 10-9 victory.
Adam Frazier doubled into right field to send Cal Raleigh home in the top of the ninth, giving the Mariners a lead. George Kirby closed out the bottom of the night for the victory.
The Mariners radio call of wild card victory was perfectly magical
How did the Mariners radio team react? Take a listen, it’s worth your time.
How can you not get swept up in the emotion of a city celebrating rare playoff success? There’s nothing like it.
It was cool enough to see Seattle celebrating a playoff berth. To see them deliver with such a dramatic playoff victory makes it all the sweeter.
We’ll get to see even more from them as the playoffs continue. The sweep of the Blue Jays gives Seattle the right to play Houston in the ALDS. There will be no question as to who America will be rooting for in that one.
