History

Historical Context

The Seattle Mariners made their historic playoff debut in 1995, clinching the AL West title after a tie-breaker against the California Angels. Led by Ken Griffey Jr., who hit 17 home runs that season, the Mariners defeated the New York Yankees in the ALDS before falling to the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS. This marked the beginning of a significant era for the franchise.
