Don't really > know what they are called, Mariners? Alas, the Mariners have never been in a Series. They should have been, back in the 90s. I forget which year, but they set a record for the most wins during the regular season, only to lose to the Yankees in the playoffs. Googling, I see it was actually in 2001 when they tied the record (116) set by the Cubs way back in 1906. -- Dan Tilque (damnyankees!) |

Given the nature of the round, it should have been clear that this meant the real performer, not the fictional one. However, 4 for Bruce also.
