Originally aired May 2024. Ray Delahanty (CityNerd) joins host Thomas Emerick to revisit the record-setting and ill-fated Seattle Mariners 2001 season, propelled on a spring night in Oakland by rookie right fielder Ichiro Suzuki. They also discuss league and divisional realignment that makes more geographic sense, with an eye toward how cities linked by intercity high-speed rail foster rivalries and buy-in from fans.
