ESPN Releases Awesome Trailer in Advance of Mariners' Appearance on Sunday Night Baseball
The Seattle Mariners will host 'Sunday Night Baseball' on ESPN for the first time in 20 years this weekend when they host the New York Mets at T-Mobile Park.
The M's appeared on the flagship baseball broadcast in 2016 - a loss against the Chicago Cubs - but this will be the first time at home since 2004.
In advance of the historic occasion, ESPN released an awesome little trailer on social media to get fans excited. It featured clips of the last 'Sunday Night Baseball' broadcast, which included Jamie Moyer and the legendary voice of Jon Miller.
#TBT to the last time #SundayNightBaseball visited Seattle...20 years ago!
SNB returns to the Emerald City later this week as the @Mariners host the Mets (Aug. 11, 7p ET, ESPN & ESPN2)

Mariners fans will undoubtedly be happy at getting a little national love, something that is sorely lacking for the Mariners. Furthermore, fans will be happy to show off the Emerald City and one of the most beautiful ballparks in baseball.
They'll be even more happy if the M's can pull out a few victories on Friday and Saturday, which would make Sunday a celebration rather than a desperation attempt to hang on.
Seattle enters play on Friday at 60-56 and in a tie for the American League West lead. New York currently leads the battle for the third wild card spot in the National League by 0.5 games over the Atlanta Braves.
Friday's game begins at 7:10 p.m. PT as Jose Quintana (NYM) pitches against Bryce Miller (SEA).
