So all of us talk about how awesome that game 6 was in the 95 ALCS, from the otherside it was one of the most heartbreaking moments in Seattle sports history (until in the interception in the superb owl).
My wife doesnt talk sports much, however we were listenign to music the other day and a Macklemore song titled "my, oh, my" came on (which is partially about the 95 Ms team) and she opened up a bit. That 95 team for the mariners was supposed to be the team that actually made it to the world series (reminder the mariners to this day still have never made the world series) it featured some absolutely amazing players to include griffey and johnson. She told me during after hour school programs they would turn the games on for all the kids to watch/listen to and that EVERYONE was attached to the team. During game 5 against the yankees in the ALDS, there was a school play and the kids huddled around a radio listening between the different scenes (she was 10 at the time). She said that it was by far and away the most she ever saw a sports team bring together that city (she moved away in 04).
So while I consider it one of the the best cleveland sports memories, Seattle fans have a slightly different view.
Then 6 years later there was "The Comeback". Man M's fans must hate cleveland.
