The Daily Catch: Sept 30, 2022

Sep 30, 2022 - 1:00 PM

Happy Friday, Mariners fans! I’m beginning to welcome the sound of the garbage truck outside my house on these days because it means it’s Friday. And today is a special Friday, today is the day we might clinch a postseason spot for the first time since 2001. I’m wearing my Northwest Green Griffey Jr. jersey — what are you wearing to celebrate the occasion?

Trivia Question

Which of these former Mariners is not in the Top 10 WAR in team history?

Yesterday’s Answer: Yesterday we asked you how many Cincinnati natives were on the original 1869 all-professional Cincinnati Red Stockings squad.

And the correct answer is.... Only 1! That player was first baseman Charlie Gould. Most of the others were from the mid-Atlantic, while one, left fielder Andy Leonard, was from Ireland.

Daily Mariners Poll
