THIS IS AMAZING, BUDDY! YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

All those wins but they played like a girls softball team against the Yankees in the ALCS. LOLOLOLOL

Always a pleasure to hear the golden voice of the legendary Dave Niehaus

i felt so bad in the late 90’s when i seen a lot of former Mariners wearing yankee jerseys. then the 2001 season happened and my opinion of catering a team around one superstar changed forever. A Team Wins Games, and a superstar will only sell a few more tickets at the home game. We need to win games, always. 🥰

Aaaaaaaaand went home in 5 to the boys 💪🏾

9-11-01 changed my life forever

I had this on vhs. Used to watch it a lot. That was the year the Ms should have won it all

Best team to never win the world series.

21 years since playoffs and the 2022 M's broke the drought

Lou pinella managed that team like a god omg I loved watching that 2001 mariners team greatest team to never win a title

Had it not been for 9/11, the Mariners would have easily beat the Yankees in the ALCS & DBacks in the WS. But this team had to push the Yankees in the WS as the city of NY was still hurting (it was just over 1 month post 9/11), & can you blame them for not being the team that ruined the hopes & dreams of NY''ers at the time? And none of the Yankees wanted any part of winning the WS when George Steinbrenner doubled down about having a parade going down the Canyon of Heroes, which was in the backdrop of Ground Zero. The optics would have been so horrible & for this I strongly believe is why the M's gave the Yankees the pennant, and gave AZ that WS crown. The M's are the real champs of 2001.

All for nothing. The Yankees reminded you of who you and your city are. Complete losers.

I love how they left out Clemens striking out 15 Mariners in Game 4 of the ALCS. I am not a Yankees or Clemens fan, but why leave out one of the best postseason starts of all time?

If not for all those horrible injuries Griffey would have hit 800HR's.

NO WORLD SERIES APPEARANCES EVER..NO RINGS ..NO TITLES ,ONLY HEARTBREAK...AND Benedict Arnold 》 =KGJ

@carson nelson Does anyone know the instrumental song at the end of the documental starting specifically at minute 54:41?

I’m an Astros fan, but this was the biggest postseason disaster in MLB history. 116 wins, and lost to the Yankees. After that, they didn’t reach the playoffs until 2022.

They had a 6 year run (1995-2001) that made me love baseball. I was lucky to experience this in the great northwest.

Woah, this is on CZcams?? I remember watching this over and over with my brother as a kid on VHS. Ichiro coming to Seattle was the spark this team needed, so sad that the club never put together a squad like this again. Happy birthday Ichiro, forever my favorite baseball player!

Damn the mariners waited 21 years just to get swept by the astros

I just watched the Padres energize our city and it brought back memories of this magical season from my childhood. Ditto on the goosebumps comment. I only own two VHS tapes still (despite no longer owning a player) & this is one of them. Thank you for posting it!

MARINERS ARE TRASH 🗑 Sincerely the San Francisco Giants who won three titles in five years ha ha you guys suck

Like the Seahawks super bowl collapse against the Pat's, this team also produced arguably the greatest choke in sports history. The Yankee legend rendered them impotent.

Guess what, baseball fans. For the 1st time since 2001, this year, the Mariners made it to the playoffs, but almost. They're in the wild card spot. This the 2nd time they have a wild card berth this year while the 1st year was back in 2000.

The Mariners are in the postseason this year 2022!! This is coming from a Yankee fan!!

I'm glad we can finally rest

Anyone looking at the recent comments here? The drought is over

WHOS HERE NOW THAT THEYRE IN THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN????

The 2000 Mariners was much more impressive than this team

The 2022 dodgers will be 2nd best not to win WS

Then we're told to lose to the Yankees because of the bombing. Somebody forgot to tell the D.backs

Embarrassing

It was a treat living in Seattle during Jr’s career. Simply the best.

Lou: “He’s a good all around ball player…” Ichiro proceeds to have one of the the greatest seasons of all time.

Those games were so fun as a kid!

"116 wins for the Mariners! Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause they're not going to make the playoffs again for another 20+ years!" Imagine saying that in 2001. Who would believe you?

Still choking up even after all these years. No one will ever come close to Dave.

All that to lose to my Yankees in a five-game ALCS

Watching this after the Mariners won 14 straight going into the 2022 All Star break! Go M's!

And this is all this lousy organization has... nostalgia from OVER 20 YEARS AGO! Remember this should've been a 117 win season but they blew a 12 run lead against Cleveland? Boone, Cameron, and a bunch of the pitchers were on roids btw... Couldn't cut it in the post season and they haven't made it back since... longest drought in all of professional sports and ownership couldn't care less. Stop supporting these LOSERS!!!

Then they get kicked out of the playoffs unceremoniously. Cool to win most games in a regular season but it's a hollow record. Pretty sure every player on that team would give up the 116 wins record for getting into the WS.

Unreal how they got quiet after this. Four games away from the World Series to never making the playoffs for 20 more years and counting

My grandma bought me this on VHS when I was 6 years old. I watched it every night for about 3 months. I love whoever posted this.

With a 116 game win total going into the playoffs,I figured the Mariners were a lock to win it all that season.Goes to show that anything can happen once the playoffs begin.

Watching this gives me goosebumps. Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs are arguably the best voices in baseball.

I was at that game when halama gave up 6 runs in the first couple innings against Texas. I'll never forget that game. Ryan Franklin came in with the bases loaded and no one out, shut down the rangers in that inning without giving up another run and then Booney went off!!! Our pitching staff didn't give up another run and every time Boone came up he smashed the ball and knocked in runs. I was there that day and it was one of the best mariners games I've ever seen in person.

If 9/11 hadn't happened I firmly believe this team would of won the world series. It made baseball seem insignificant and the M's looked like a different team when they came back. I still love this team though. Been a fan since 84' and I've stuck by em through all these years. Through all the disfunction, the 100 loss seasons, the "almost made it to the playoffs"...still love my mariners.

Very funny how this just ends without even mentioning the ALCS
