Though not a Mariners fan or having connections to Seattle, I was hoping they would finally break through.

I also really liked the Cal Raleigh story, and I hope he wins MVP. He also came to play in the post-season with a .304 batting average, 8 walks, and 5 homers including the last points Seattle would score in the season.

So, my condolences to all Mariners fans. You had a great year, and Raleigh had one for the record books.
