During middle school my best friend and I would bus down the the Kingdome from Bothell for games on the weekends and some weekdays. We'd always be the first two there. Leftfield was general admission back then. So, we'd RUN to get two places like 15 seats fair of the left field foul pole for all the batting practice homeruns. Anywho, the M's pitchers are doing their sprints. Remember, during BP along the wall? So we're of course making fun of Krueger and DeLucia. Here comes of Erik. We havn't got ANY BP homeruns yet and are startin' to stress a little. So, Dave leans over the railing and hollars, 'You're Cy Young, Erik!'. And up comes our only baseball of the night. Just wanted to say, thanks Mr. Young, in case you're reading. I loved Mike Moore. *sigh*

So I don't think it's a huge knock on the Mariner franchise that he's in 12th place with his 500 strike outs. But there are no 22 year olds high on either of those lists - Felix is something special and could shoot right to the top of the Mariner's list (Randy Johnson's 2162 is tops) if he has a long career here. He does have more than Bosio (24th place with 310). Ahead of Felix on the Mariner list (top to bottom) are Johnson, Moyer, Langston, Moore, Garcia, Hanson, Pineiro, Young, Meche, Bannister, and Beattie.

That says a lot about the history of this franchise that I have followed (off and on) since I was 11 years old.
