Order by the year each player joined the Seattle Mariners. You place all 52 cards on one timeline, one at a time. You start with three lives, and ten right in a row wins a lost one back.
Order Seattle Mariners players by the year each one joined the club. One card sits on the timeline at the start, year in view. The cards you draw show a name and a position such as second baseman or designated hitter, and you choose a gap for each. If you're right, the year appears. If you're wrong, he still moves into his correct spot and you lose one of three lives.
Seattle joined as an expansion team and the opening years were lean, so the earliest cards are mostly names only local fans remember. The deck gets busy as the franchise finally became a winner, then fills again with later stars. Relievers are the biggest group, and designated hitters show up too. Watch for players who left Seattle and came back: the card counts from the first time.
