Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox baseball team season The Seattle Mariners 1994 season was their 18th since the franchise creation, and ended the season finishing third in the American League West, finishing with a Template:Winning percentage record. The season was cut short by the infamous 1994 player's strike, which began on August 12.[1]

The Mariners played their final twenty games on the road, due to interior ceiling repairs at the Kingdome;[2][3] they were 10–1 in August, and won their final six games.[1]

  • December 10, 1993: Eric Anthony was traded by the Houston Astros for Mike Felder and Mike Hampton.[5]

Regular season

  • April 4: The Mariners played in the first game at Cleveland's Jacobs Field. President Bill Clinton threw out the ceremonial first pitch, and the Indians won 4–3 in 11 innings.[10]
  • June 17: In the Mariners' 65th game of the season, Ken Griffey Jr. hit his league-leading 30th home run off Kansas City Royals ace David Cone in a 5–1 win at Kauffman Stadium.
  • July 8: Shortstop Alex Rodriguez made his major league debut at age 18.[11] It was at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox; Rodriguez was flawless in the field, but went hitless in three at bats.[12][13] He got his first major league hit the following day.[14]

By Friday, August 12, the Mariners had compiled a Template:Winning percentage record through 112 games and were only two games behind the Texas Rangers for the lead in the four-team AL West Division.[15] They had scored 569 runs (5.08 per game) and allowed 616 runs (5.50 per game).[16]

Slightly more than half of the 162 games scheduled were to be televised this season, with 72 on KSTW and sixteen on Prime Sports Northwest; of those 88 games, 65 were on the road and 23 at home.[17]
