Which Mariner made six outs in his first three at bats?
Ron Wright. It was also his only three MLB ABs.

Actually wasn't the worst game in M's history though. That dishonor would go to Dylan Moore with four Ks and 3 errors in a game this past season.

Darren, Jay and Terry can't answer this because I already fooled them but . . . Who was the Mariner who hit the last home run off Nolan Ryan?
Dann Howitt.
Howitt's slam landed the next section over from me.

I too was at that game, I wonder if Dann Howitt is the only player named Dann?

Like a Kenn Griffey, a Kyll Seager, or Omarr Vizquel.
