The1981Seattle Mariners season was their fifth since the franchise creation, and were sixth in theAmerican League West at 44–65 (.404). Due to the1981 player's strike, the season was split in half, with pre-strike and post-strike results. The Mariners were sixth in the division in the first half at 21–36 (.368), and fifth in the second half at 23–29 (.442). The strike began on June 12 and regular season play resumed on August 10.[1]

ManagerMaury Wills was fired on May 6 with a 6–18 (.250) record, the M's worst start yet;[2] he was succeeded by 36-year-oldRene Lachemann, the manager atTriple-ASpokane.[2][3][4]

Overview

[edit]
Jerry Narron caught 65 games for the Mariners.

On January 14, 1981, the Mariners' were sold toGeorge Argyros, aCaliforniareal estate developer, for an estimated$12.5 million.[10][11] The sale of the team, which needed the approval of 10 of 14 owners of American League teams, received a unanimous vote of consent on January 29.[12]

Tom Paciorek hit .326 and then was traded

On April 25, Mariners' manager Maury Wills advised the Kingdome groundskeepers to enlarge the batter's box by a foot (0.3 m), andA's managerBilly Martin noticed. He showed umpireBill Kunkel that thebatter's box was seven feet (2.1 m) in length (instead of six). Martin felt that batters being able to move up a foot in the box could cut at pitches before a curveball broke. Wills was suspended for two games and fined $500;[13][14] he was fired on May 6.[2]

While inArlington in late May to play theTexas Rangers, the Mariners' uniforms were stolen. For the May 30 game against the Rangers, Seattle wore their batting practice jerseys,Milwaukee Brewers' caps, and Rangers' batting helmets.[15] The Mariners purchased the Brewers caps at the Rangers' souvenir-stand; the Rangers did not offer Seattle caps for sale.[16]

JourneymanTom Paciorek put together a career season with the M's in 1981. Playing full-time for the only time in his career at age 34, he batted .326, second in theAmerican League,[17] and was fourth in the AL inslugging percentage. Paciorek earned his only appearance to anAll-Star team in1981 and was tenth in the ALMVP race. After a request for increased compensation and a three-year contract,[17] the Mariners traded him in December 1981 to theChicago White Sox for three players,[18] none of whom made an impact with Seattle. Paciorek hit over .300 his first two years with the Sox, and was part of Chicago's division championship team in1983.
