JULIOOOO! and the end of the Mariners' playoff drought
As 2022 comes to a close, we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes of the year.
Today: The rookie centerfielder who led the Mariners to their first playoff game in Seattle in more than 20 years. Julio Rodriguez was the ALS rookie of the year, but even without that title, he captured the hearts and minds of the city — especially the Dominican community.
