Here after Ichiro's statue broke during its unveiling
i think its time to add another chapter after this season. The protagonists deserve it.
“Yankees got married to Marilyn Monroe and hung out with the rat pack. Mariners made toilet Jello and threw up because it was funny”
I will still advocate that this deserves whatever kind of award possible at the ESPY's or literally whatever. This documentary single-handedly made me feel emotions for a team and a sport I've never had any real interest in before. Hands down one of the best sports media ever made as far as I'm concerned.
Heartbroken by last night. Watching again to remember why I felt anything at all. Protagonists, not competitors. One day, we'll all be back here after they've won it all.
