Summary: "This is simply...indescribable!"
Review: For many of us long suffering Seattle baseball fans who remember the days when you could walk up the Kingdome box office, purchase a ticket with ease and sit in an entire section by your lonesome, the 1995 baseball season remains truly special. A Magic Season: The Book of the 1995 Seattle Mariners is not heavy reading but more of a jog through memory lane. From the opening pages that remind us of the bitterness of the 1994 players strike, to the playoff frenzy (and I mean FRENZY!) that ultimately ended with the playoff series loss to the Cleveland Indians in the American League Championship Series. The wonderfully edited book follows the Mariners in chronological order through the 1995 season. For me, the memories intensify as you relive the incredible momentum of the last few weeks of the regular season. There is greater detail on key games during the stretch run such as the one game elimination face-off with the then "California" Angels for the division title. For fans, it harkens memories of Randy Johnson's dominating perfomance highlighted by Dave Niehaus' unforgettable radio call of "...this is simple...indescribible"! Through the amazing series with the New York Yakees in the American League Divisional Series, each of the nail-biting games are reviewed with great pictures, box scores, and stats. All of the five games of this classic series are covered in this great section. In addition to all of the post-season action, the editors offer a section of detailed player profiles. There are Mariners present and past who contributed to this amazing accomplishment of this team are highlighted. Mariners fans everywhere will enjoy reliving the season that put the Mariners on the baseball "map". If you're a fan of the Mariners, this book is fun and a must.
