Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present the pre-2021 update of our top 50 Seattle Mariners of all-time.

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 not reflected in a stat sheet.

There is only one new addition near the bottom part of our list.  As always, we announce our top five immediately, but out full list can be found here.

1. Ken Griffey Jr.

2. Edgar Martinez

3. Ichiro Suzuki

4. Felix Hernandez

5. Randy Johnson

There was some minor tinkering on the list due to the changing values from Baseball Reference.  The new entry is current staff ace, Marco Gonzales, who debuts at #48.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

Wally Moses first cracked the Majors with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1935, where he won the starting job at Rightfield.

Marco Gonzales was a First Round Pick in 2013 by the St. Louis Cardinals, but the Seattle Mariners were able to obtain him in a trade for Tyler O’Neill in the summer of 2017. Gonzales had made it to the Majors by that point, but he had not yet proven himself as a bona fide Starting Pitcher at baseball’s highest level.  This would change in the Emerald City.

The world of basketball lost a legend today as Elgin Baylor passed away from natural causes.  He was 86 years old.

Baylor led the Seattle Redhawks to a Final Four Appearance in 1958, and while his team did not win, the All-American was named the Final Four MVP.  His collegiate success netted him the first overall pick that year, going to the Minneapolis Lakers, where he won the Rookie of the Year.

The Small Forward went on to be one of the top NBA players of the 1960s, and would be named to ten First Team All-NBA Selections.  Knee problems reduced him to only 11 Games in his last two season, and he retired after the 1971-72 Season, and Baylor left professional basketball with a 27.4 Point and 13.5 Rebound per Game Average.  

He would later be the General Manager for the Los Angeles Clippers from 1989 to 2009, though would only see the playoffs twice in that capacity.

Baylor was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1977, and his number 22, was retired by the Lakers in 1983.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Elgin Baylor.
