It's that time of the year again: baseball season. Whether you like baseball or not, a day at the ballpark is never a disappointment. The Seattle Mariners, while their record might be slightly embarrassing, have mastered skills and tricks that no other major league team has acquired. These "skills" may be either impressive or embarrassing, but they are talents nonetheless.
Creative Errors
Only in Seattle can a professional baseball player fall on top of a ball without even touching it at all.
At-Bat Rituals
Seager wouldn't have a .312 batting average without his special techniques and traditions. It might be unorthodox, but it gets the job done.
Diving Techniques
The Mariners even make diving look majestic. It becomes a competition over who can get their feet highest in the air.
Voluptuous Beards
Only in Seattle do the athlete's beards make visiting ballplayers want to physically touch them. Good thing we don't care about personal space here!
Hometown Support
Seattle sure loves its sports teams. Where else will you see two football players cheering on The King, Felix Hernandez?
Inspirational Dance Moves
Gotta keep up on the endurance, right? Baseball can seem like a slow sport at times, but not when there is so much dancing to be done!
Excellent Judgement
That field at Safeco Field is so large! How can one player be expected to cover so much ground? You win some, you lose some.
Constant Enthusiasm
We don't take homeruns lightly here in Seattle. Why run around the bases once when you can keep going? Just listen to your teammates, right?
Errors are Contagious
Sometimes, just sometimes, the Mariner's have the power to instill so much fear into their opponents that they make embarrassing mistakes to our benefit. Contagion with errors is not a rumor in baseball.
Gum-Mouth Coordination
Some skills don't even have to do with a bat and a ball. Concentration as a baseball coach is a feat in itself.
Bodacious Booty
If you don't like watching baseball, there is one thing that keeps the fans coming back for more: butts. Why else would they make baseball pants so tight?
