I always figured that Yamauchi bought the Mariners as the ultimate in bragging rights amongst Japanese industrialists.

Ichiro wasn’t the first Japanese baseball player in the MLB but he was the most important. I doubt he would have made it over the MLB as soon as he did if it weren’t for the Seattle Mariners…

I think the story was that they bought the team to keep them in Washington. Also they did make those ken griffin baseball games back on the n64.

This makes more sense regarding the best baseball game of all time. Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball. I still love that game.

Hey, 19th Century Freudian psychiatrist here. This is a classic case of Electra complex. I recommend a tincture of laudanum, sometime before the Cleveland convention.

Viktor continued to deny paternity—going into detail for the court about when he had sex with Marija and the rhythms of her menstrual cycle—prompting the court to order a blood test.

Patrick, stop saying “‘yoffs.”

my name is Snacky AND YOU WILL ALL CALL ME THAT.

Wait, you mean you can’t do that? Huh.
