Gifts for Mariners Fans
Seattle baseball comes back to one game, one swing, one night. Edgar Martinez. "The Double." The whole comeback — from 0–2 in the series to winning Game 5 in walk-off fashion — kept on a single scorecard.
Mariners — 1995 ALDS · Game 5
Down 2–0 in the series to the Yankees, the Mariners won Games 3 and 4 in the Kingdome to force a deciding Game 5. Joey Cora led off the bottom of the 11th with a bunt single; Ken Griffey Jr. followed. Edgar Martinez stepped up against Jack McDowell and drove the ball into the left-field corner. Cora scored. Griffey — sprinting all the way from first — scored standing up. The game is called The Double. The scorecard from that game is the one Mariners fans come back to.

The game that kept the Mariners in Seattle
The 1995 Mariners almost didn't exist. Before that season, the county had voted against a new stadium, and the team was on the verge of being sold and relocated. The team was 13 games out in August. Then they went on a run — caught the Angels, won a one-game playoff, made it to the ALDS for the first time in franchise history.
Game 5 against the Yankees was the climax of all of it. The Kingdome was shaking. The Mariners came from behind, multiple times, over 11 innings. When Edgar's double landed in the corner and Griffey scored — literally running home from first base, sliding in just ahead of the throw — the whole thing was settled. Not just the game, but whether Seattle got to keep its team. The state legislature funded the new stadium that winter. The scorecard from that night is, in a real sense, the document that explains why the Mariners are still there.
Griffey, Edgar, Randy — the team that made the city believe
The mid-90s Mariners were one of the most talented rosters in baseball: Ken Griffey Jr. in center, Edgar Martinez as the best designated hitter in the game, Randy Johnson as the most dominant pitcher in the American League. They never got to a World Series — the Yankees knocked them out in 1995, and that roster was never fully assembled again — but they were real. That 1995 ALDS Game 5 is the one game from that era that belongs in every Mariners fan's collection.
Any Mariners game, any year
The 1995 ALDS Game 5 is the most-requested Mariners game, but Field & Ink can rebuild any MLB game from the last 100 years — a Griffey home run, a Randy Johnson strikeout game, an Ichiro hit-streak night. Use the Game Finder →
