Mariners 2001: A Joy Ride into the Record Books

Rating:
Summary: Seattle P-I doesn't know book making
Review: The only reason this is a great book is because I enjoy baseball and especially my hometown Seattle Mariners. The stories in this book are pretty much the same stories that ran in the P-I throughout the greatest season in history.

My biggest complaint with the book is that it seems like most of the photographs are out of focus. I don't know if this is a problem that arouse during the printing of the book or if it's bad photo editing. It's so bad that the photo on the front cover almost keeps you from buying the book. Although if you're mariner fan it is definitely a must buy.

Hey Seattle P-I folks, stay in the newspaper business it's obvious you can't put together a book. The only reason you are going to sell this book is because there are tons of Mariner fans now.

Thank you Mariners for having such a wonderful season. I just wish MLB and the Mariner organization would have put a book like this together. I would bet that if they did it would be way better than this.

Summary: A great summary of the greatest season in history.
Review: This book describes the Seattle Mariners and, indeed, their joy ride into the record books as a team in 2001. While the book may not hold interest to regular Post-Intelligencer readers, for one like me, a Mariner fan from out-of-state, this book provides incredible articles and comprehensive insight. There is an included appendix with the entire Mariners schedule, as well as many articles and original editorials on players. The book features incredible and touching pictures describing the Mariners' season. Indeed, even a true baseball fan would enjoy having this book.

Summary: Great recap of a great season
Review: This is a must-read and must-own for anyone who loves the Mariners and followed that wonderfil 2001 season. The Seattle P-I's writers are terrific, and did a terrific job capturing the magic of this amazing season as it happened. And yes, the stories are right out of the paper - they're supposed to be.

Book quality is excellent for a paperback. Print quality is great, too. Highly recommend this one.
