That's because he's not a real Mariners fan. Just some Athletics and Angels fan in disguise trying to make REAL mariners fans like Tequilla look bad.

CPOTD!
The Hooks SB didn't come out of nowhere and it was more satisfying to me than all of the 95 hawt Refuse To Loose action. Yes, the way they came out of nowhere was great, and the comebacks were amazing, but getting plungered by Cleveland took a lot of the fun out of it.
Any championship > any non championship run, I don't care about the context.

Yea but just beat the Yankees nothing else matters!!!!!!!!
Honestly anyone who seriously would take 1995 over a World Series fucking title needs to just light themselves on fire right now.

I barely remember the Indians series because I was spent after the Yankees series.
I have more fond memories about the '95 run in September through that Yankees series than I do about the Seahawks winning the title. To me, there was just this inevitability of the Hawks winning the Super Bowl ... it was definitely enjoyable to watch for sure.

Ummm that's hindsight 20/20. Seahawks were struggling down the stretch not to mention both NFC playoff games were nail biters especially the 49ers game which was basically the Mariners version of the Yankees series. The only difference is Seahawks went all the way afterwards.

I remember more about the 95 run than the Hawks SB run too, but I think that has more to do with the fact I was 14 years old and it was the greatest thing going on in my life whereas when the Hawks won I was married with a pregnant wife and an established career. I just have way more going on now than I did then. Seattle sports aren't the biggest thing in my life like they were when I was a kid.
I think if you made the M's run last year and the Hawks SB run in 95 you'd think the Hawks run was massively superior. Or lets put it this way, did you find 95 more satisfying than the Dawgs in 91 (assuming you're old enough to remember it)? I was only ten for the UW run, but that was the best thing ever to me. I'd take 91 Dawgs again over 95 M's anyday.

They are tough to compare because with baseball you're involved with it every day whereas with football it was once per week.
Probably the '91 Husky title because I remember wearing all of my Husky stuff to bed that night hoping that it would give good luck to get the National Title the next morning.
What '95 reinforced to me is why baseball is, and always will be, the National Pastime. It's easy to call baseball boring when you don't have a dog in the fight. But there's nothing more exciting than every day mattering in September - that's great.
