Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who was the first Mariner to win Rookie of the Year?

Answer: Alvin Davis

Alvin Davis won the ROY in 1984. Actually neither Griffey nor Rodriguez were eligible or they almost surely would have won also.

2. In what year did the Mariners begin play at Safeco Field?

Answer: 1999

Safeco Field opened for play in July of 1999, though their first win there did not come until three games later.

3. Who threw the Mariners first no-hitter?

Answer: Randy Johnson

Randy Johnson threw the Mariners first "no-no" on June 2nd, 1990 against the Detroit Tigers.

4. Who was the first Mariner to hit for the cycle?

Answer: Jay Buhner

Jay Buhner's cycle came in 1993 in an extra innings game. Rodriguez and Olerud both hit for the cycle as Mariners (for Olerud it was the second time in his career to accomplish that feat), but Griffey never did.

5. Which Mariners made the final out for Chris Bosio's no-hitter in 1993?

Answer: Omar Vizquel and Tino Martinez

Former Mariners shortstop, Omar Vizquel, made the catch bare handed before throwing ball to first base.

6. Which Mariner's pitcher won the American League ERA title in 2001?

Answer: Freddy Garcia

Freddy finished the season with a fantastic 3.05 ERA. He also led the American League in innings pitched (238.2) and opponents batting average against (.225).

7. The Mariners hosted the 2001 All-Star Game at Safeco Field. How many Mariners were elected to or selected to the 2001 American League All- Star Team?

Answer: 8

The Mariners All-Stars were: John Olerud, Bret Boone, Edgar Martinez, Freddy Garcia, Kazuhiro Sasaki, Ichiro Suzuki, Mike Cameron, Jeff Nelson. Ichiro had the first hit in the game off Randy Johnson. Cameron hit an "in your face" double in front of Moises Alou. Freddy Garcia tallied the win, and Sasaki scored the save.

9. How many victories did the amazing 2001 Mariners have, tying the 1906 Cubs for the most wins in a single major league season?

Answer: 116

10. Which Mariner had the game winning hit in Game 5 of the 1995 Division Series against the New York Yankees?

Answer: Edgar Martinez
