The Mariners played their first game on April 6, 1977, to a sold-out crowd of 57,762 at the Kingdome, losing 7â0 to the California Angels. The first home run in team history was hit on April 10, 1977, by designated hitter Juan Bernhardt.
The Mariners won the division title again in 1997, but were defeated in the ALDS 3 games to 1 by the Baltimore Orioles. They were again hurt by a lack of pitching depth to complement the outstanding offense, which was, as usual, led by Griffey, who won the MVP award, a first for both him and the Mariners.
