Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Seattle Mariners.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the American League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Mariners rocketed to a hits tart, but faltered in the second half and did not make the playoffs.  The season would still see three new entrants and some elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes

1. Ken Griffey Jr.

2. Edgar Martinez

3. Ichiro Suzuki

4. Felix Hernandez

5. Randy Johnson

You can find the entire list here.

Outfielder Julio Rodriguez rocketed up from #35 to #20.

Shortstop J.P. Crawford moved to #26 from #31.

Pitcher Logan Gilbert is the highest debut at #37.

Catcher Cal Raleigh enters at #39.

The third new entrant is Pitcher George Kirby, who comes in at #45.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

Taken with the 20th Overall Pick in 2019, George Kirby needed only three years to make it to to the Majors, where in his rookie year he went 8-5 and aided the Mariners make the playoffs.

Currently entering his fourth year in Seattle, Kirby has been one of the best control pitchers in the game and is on a two-year streak of leading the AL in SO/BB and BB/9, though he has surrendered a significant amount of hits.  He did make the All-Star Team in 2023 where he was eighth in Cy Young voting, and has the goods to make a top five Cy Young finish in 2025.

We are diligently working away at Notinhalloffame on revising our Baseball and Football lists to reflect the winter’s respective classes.

As such, we are pleased to announce that we have revised 281-300 on the NIHOF Baseball list.

This concludes this year’s revision.

Those ranked are:

#281. Ian Kinsler
#282. Jim Sundberg
#283. Darrell Porter
#284. Lindy McDaniel
#285. Edwin Encarnacion
#286. Preacher Roe

#288. George Gore
#289. Javier Vasquez

The Country Music Hall of Fame has that Kenny Chesney, June Carter Cash and Tony Brown will comprise the Class of 2025.

Chesney’s laid back musical style has entertained fans since 1994, and the self-taught musician racked up piles of number one albums and singles on the Country charts.  Later this year, he will become the first Country act to headline the Sphere at Las Vegas.  He is this year’s Modern Era Artist inductee.

June Carter Cash is this year’s Senior Era Artist, and is best known for her collaborations with her husband Johnny Cash.  She did have a strong run of individual success in the late 50s, 60s and 70s, and was also a prolific songwriter.

Brown, a pianist who played for Elvis Presley, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, enters in the Non-Performer Category for his work as a producer.  He oversaw over 100 Number One songs in that capacity.

We here at Notinhalloffame would like to congratulate the newest members of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
