More banners the Mariners should raise

[DavidGee24]

we could go for most banners without a World Series appearance.

"ahem" - Expos/Nationals

Oops..I should have specified American League...or we could start a "Banner Up" campaign to honor the Green Hydro's career, the last time a bobblehead actually resembled its subject, or a special King's Court retirement ceremony? Surely we'll surpass the Nats at some point...this is Seattle after all, the participation trophy capital of the universe.

Nope, the Nats have an official curse now, the Strasburg Curse, after they stupidly shut him down for no reason whatsoever in 2012 when they could have just put him in the bullpen where he would have been the difference in their playoff series against the Cardinals. That might well have cost them a pennant and the reward for their Irrational Managerial Fear is that the National incarnation of the franchise still has yet to even win a playoff series.

LONGEST ROAD TRIP

As an addition to this, much like the White Sox (and others) have their HoF legends on their outfield walls, the Ms could decorate theirs with failed first round draft choices. It would look spectacular under the banners.

So stupid. Treat these guys like babies and most need surgery anyways.

Any time from 1978 to 1983 Banner
All under the same roof!
Mariners
Sonics
Sounders
Seahawks
4 Brothers
3 Crowns
Oops hindsight 20-20 but at least the Sonics would win in 78-79.

[BaseHitDerby]

They'll probably enlarge their current 3 banners to take up more space.

The ALCS banner has to be one of the dumbest banners in sports. There is a banner to commemorate the fact that the team made it to the ALCS. So fucking stupid. So fucking Seattle Mariners.
