BATTING FIRST AT HOME?On Sept. 26, 2007, the Mariners played the Cleveland Indians at Safeco Field and

batted first…due to a previous snow out in Cleveland, it marked the first time since 1913 a team batted first in its own ballpark, but the game still counted as a Mariners home game…until 1950, when it was formally abolished, the home team had the right to choose whether it batted in the top or bottom of the inning…near the turn of the century, when only one ball was used in a game, it was considered advantageous to hit first, before the ball got dirty and soft…the practice had died out by the 19-teens…Retrosheet is able to identify only only five cases since 1900 which are (in reverse chronological order): June 26, 1913, A’s at Senators; Aug. 25, 1911, Senators at Tigers; July 16, 1908 Giants at Cubs; May 11, 1905, Reds at Dodgers; Aug. 24, 1902 Dodgers at Cubs…the 1902, 1911 and 1913 games were all the second games of doubleheaders, meaning the 1913 date was also the last time a club batted both first and last in its own park in the same day…research courtesy David W. Smith/Retrosheet.

Guidelines for Selection to the Mariners Hall of FameThe Mariners Hall of Fame was established in 1997 to honor the great players

and other individuals who make positive contributions to the history of the Mariners franchise.I. Eligible Candidates - To be eligible for consideration, uniformed personnel (player,

manager or coach) should meet the following requirements: A. Active in a Mariners’ uniform for at least five seasons; B. Ceased to be active in the Major Leagues at least two seasons preceding the

selection, but may be otherwise connected with baseball. To be eligible for consideration, non-uniformed personnel should meet the following

requirements: A. Full-time employee of the Mariners for at least five seasons. B. Made significant contributions to Mariners Baseball and the franchise, either on

or off the field.II. Method of Selection – The Board of Directors of Baseball of Seattle, Inc., at the

recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the President of the Mariners, the front office, uniformed personnel, the media and fans, shall in their sole discretion determine who will be selected on an annual basis.

III. Criteria for Selection – The primary criterion for inclusion in the Mariners Hall of Fame shall be the on-field impact a player had while in a Mariners’ uniform. The measure of a player’s impact shall primarily be the statistical record created by the player.

The Mariners will consider other factors, such as: 1. Statistical impact on the field while in a non-Mariners uniform, whether before or

after his tenure with the Mariners; 2. A player’s positive impact on the Northwest community outside the game of

baseball; and 3. A player’s positive impact in enhancing the image of the Seattle Mariners or

Major League Baseball.IV. Time of Selection – The selection process will be conducted during the first

quarter of each calendar year. If an individual is selected, it will be announced within the first two months of that regular baseball season.

V. Retirement of uniform number – The Mariners plan to retire uniform numbers only very selectively and subject to substantially higher expectations than those applied to the Mariners’ Hall of Fame. To be eligible to have one’s number retired, the former Mariners should have either a) been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and been in a Mariner’s uniform for at least five years, or b) come close to such election and have spent substantially his entire career with the Mariners. Eligibility shall not commence until after the former player has been voted on once for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, which for all practical purposes means six years after retirement. In this regard, the Mariners will take into consideration the policy of other American League clubs in retiring uniform numbers.

VI. Amendments – The Seattle Mariners reserve the right to alter and amend these guidelines at any time.
