It did not take long for 1987 Seattle Mariners first overall draft pick Ken Griffey Jr. to make his mark on MLB. The center fielder hit 16 home runs and 64 RBIs in his freshman season of 1989, finishing third in AL Rookie of the Year voting. The following season, he would win the first of ten consecutive Gold Gloves during his time in Seattle. Griffey won the 1997 AL MVP Award after hitting .304/.382/.646 with 56 home runs and 147 RBIs, leading MLB in both categories. However, after beefing with Mariners rookie Alex Rodriguez, Griffey was traded to the Reds. He briefly appeared as a member of the 2008 White Sox before returning to the Mariners, retiring in 2010.

During the 2001 season in which the Mariners set the AL wins record with 116 victories, Garcia's 3.05 ERA was the lowest among starters, and his 238 innings were the highest.
