The longtime M's third baseman was inducted into the 'Hall of Pretty Good' on Thursday.
Congratulations are in order for former Seattle Mariners third baseman Kyle Seager, who was inducted into the "Hall of Pretty Good" on Thursday by earning more than 97 percent of the vote.
With his induction, Seager becomes the 100th member of the internet Hall of Fame. Now yes, we are well aware that the "Hall of Pretty Good" doesn't actually exist, but the internet phenomenon has taken off over the last year or so as a way to recognize players who made excellent contributions to the game. Even in this case, Seager's wife Julie had some fun with the story, and former M's first baseman Ty France endorsed Seager's candidacy too.
What other former Mariners are in the "Hall of Pretty Good?"
Well, there are several, but Seager is by far the most decorated and by far the most important to the history of the franchise. Other former M's include Steve Cishek, Austin Jackson, Rickie Weeks, Jay Bruce, Dee Strange-Gordon and Denard Span.
What are the requirements for the "Hall of Pretty Good?"
As noted by the sites official Instagram page, a player must have 38.6 bWAR or less for his career, no MVP awards, no Cy Young's, cannot be a member of the Hall of Fame and must be retired/inactive for at least three seasons.
About Kyle Seager
Now 38 years old, Seager was a third-round pick of the Mariners in 2009 MLB Draft out of North Carolina. He spent 11 years in the big leagues, all with the Mariners (2011-21), making the All-Star Game in 2014. A one-time Gold Glover, he hit .251 for his career with 242 homers and 807 RBIs.
He had nine seasons of 20 homers or more and also had two seasons of 30 or more, including 35 in his final season (2021). It's hard to believe that he stopped playing after his age 33 season, but he evidently wanted to spend more time at home.
The Mariners never made the playoffs in his tenure, but they did make the playoffs in 2022 right after he retired, with players on that team like JP Crawford crediting him for teaching them how to play the game the right way.
Earlier this summer, Seager was named to the "Top 50 Greatest Mariners" team, though he did not attend the ceremony because of a strained relationship that he has with the front office.
Regardless, his impact among a generation of Mariners fans was certainly evident. And he was also part of one of the greatest Mariners commercials of all-time. Maybe that can go on his induction plaque.
