When learning that his son (erroneously) was dead from George Steinbrenner, Frank Costanza’s first response was:

“What the hell did you trade Jay Buhner for?  He had 30 Home Runs, over 100 RBIs last year!  He’s got a rocket for an arm!  You don’t know what the hell you’re doing!”

Kyle Seager was a Seattle Mariner for the entirety of his eleven seasons, and though he was not a superstar, he was a steady presence in a period when Seattle needed it.

Jamie Moyer played an astounding 25 years in the Majors, and the crafty southpaw would spend 11 of them with the Seattle Mariners.

Alex Rodriguez only played with the Seattle Mariners until he was 25 years old, but he had already established himself as one of the most exciting players in the game.  Based on the mega-deal he signed with the Texas Rangers when the Shortstop left the Mariners, the consensus was that he was also one of the best.
