Jay Buhner, one of the stars in the Seattle Mariners’ 1995 “Refuse to Lose” season, maintained the team's proud, prank-filled history well into the ’90s with his “blurping”—vomiting on command.\u003cp\u003eIt’s a good thing Mariners players had a sense of humor, because for many years the play on the field wasn't going to keep one’s spirits high, as the team lost a combined 202 games over their first two seasons. Twelve consecutive losing campaigns later, they finally posted a winning record in 1991. Four years later, they won their first division title and then their first playoff series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reissue of \u003ci\u003eTales from the Seattle Mariners Dugout\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles Seattle's rise from a hopeless and hapless franchise in the 1970s and ’80s to a proud team in the 1990s that went on to capture three division championships and earn four playoff appearances.
