- On August 11, 2021, the Seattle Mariners unveiled a statue of Edgar Martinez, on the south side of T-Mobile Park, along the street that bears his name, in a pose that represents one of the defining moments in the history of the franchise.
Created by Lou Cella, the Chicago-based artist who sculpted the statues of Dave Niehaus (2011) and Ken Griffey Jr. (2017), it captures the single most famous hit in Mariners history, "The Double."
During his storied 18-year career, Martinez was a seven-time All-Star, five-time Silver Slugger and two-time batting champion. In 2019, he joined his former teammate Ken Griffey Jr. in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The unveiling ceremony was attended by Griffey and fellow Mariners Hall of Famer Dan Wilson.

Love it. Up next, Ichiro.
This interaction brings up a valid point, Rick Rizz is almost as deeply entrenched in Mariners lore as the kid
You don't see players staying with one team for their entire career! So it's nice to see some players being that loyal!!
Well deserved. Way to go legend!!!
Randy Johnson statue as well!! I guess they have a Griffey jr. Statue!
Where in the HELL IS Ken Griffey jr. STATUE!! He is and will always be the Face of the Seattle Mariners!!
Junior drifts off dreaming .... " what if we had kept Omar Vizquel,
and told the rookie Rodriguez to play third base."
Well deserved
Yet again, the mariners know how to make things feel so damn human it's amazing!
Go MARINERS!!!!!! TRUE TO THE BLUE!!!
Ichiro next.
Should be ichiro, Felix, Edgar, and the kid
@@jamestobin4849 Kid number 1, he saved Seattle ball remember if we didn't have him there would be no Safeco. No M's with that wild king dome
these are the best. I love Randy Johnson though. I wish he could have stayed longer.
@@SeaTK610 yeah I considered randy but just left too soon. The fact he went into the hall as a dback hurt. A neihaus statute should be in the middle of it all.
When does ichiro get one?
Never!!!
Right after he is inducted into Cooperstown, which he will be on his first ballot.
My mom used to scream “Eddddggaaaarrrr. Eddddgaaaarrrr, Edddddggggaaaarrrrr even when we were on defense lol.
lol "thanks rick!!!!"
Too bad those great Mariners teams of the 90's couldn't make a World Series appearance or even a Championship!
Magnificent!
Can we get the Mariners a playoff appearance! It's been 20 years since the last appearance!
It’s coming. It’s still possible this year even though those east coast writers are ready to count us out if we do well in our next 9 at Houston and Oakland. Then we play the a’s 7 more times, the red Sox once. Have two series with the diamondbacks. We could do it but 2023 is our years
Ken Griffey jr. Or Edgar Martinez need to be the Mariners hitting coach!
He said we’re playing Texas tonight lol nope not til tomorrow mr rizz
This was during our series vs texas here in Seattle.
