The Arizona Diamondbacks and Texas Rangers faced off in the World Series this year, reminding the Seattle Mariners of what could have been. The Mariners have been one of the most successful teams in the American League since their inception in 1977, but they have yet to make it to the World Series.
The Mariners have had a number of close calls over the years, including a record-setting 116-win season in 2001, but they have never been able to make it to the Fall Classic. This year was no different, as the team finished with a 78-84 record, good for third place in the AL West.
The Diamondbacks and Rangers, meanwhile, had very different seasons. The Diamondbacks finished with a 93-69 record, good for first place in the NL West, while the Rangers finished with a 95-67 record, good for first place in the AL West. Both teams went on to win their respective league championships and face off in the World Series.
The World Series matchup between the Diamondbacks and Rangers was a reminder to the Mariners of what could have been. While the team has had its share of success over the years, they have yet to make it to the World Series. This year’s matchup between two teams from the same division as the Mariners was a stark reminder of what could have been if the Mariners had been able to get over the hump and make it to the World Series.
It’s not too late for the Mariners to make it to the World Series, however. With a talented core of young players and a strong farm system, the team is well-positioned to make a run at a championship in the near future. While it may not be this year, there is still hope that the Mariners can make it to the World Series in the years to come.
