""Top Gun Anthem" is an epic ballad filled with the sorts of ups and downs that personify an organization that has spent 49 years alternating among the desolation of mediocrity and the heartbreak of underachievement. The only team in Major League Baseball team never to play in a World Series, Seattle is two wins away from capturing its first American League pennant and heading to T-Mobile Park for Game 3."
"Their dominant position is in large part thanks to a 32-year-old whose feats have earned him the right to be called Iceman himself -- and yet that's not the nickname Polanco wears these days. "He's George Bonds," Mariners catcher Mitch Garver said. Yes, Polanco's alter ego is the anglicized version of his first name and the surname of Major League Baseball's all-time home run leader. He earned it earlier this season, Garver said, when "everything he hit was 110 (mph) in a gap or over the fence. It was unbelievable.""
Jorge Polanco hit a go-ahead three-run home run that helped the Seattle Mariners to a 10-3 victory and a 2-0 lead over the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS. Polanco has repeatedly rescued the Mariners from precarious situations throughout the postseason. Seattle, the only major league team never to appear in a World Series, sits two wins from its first American League pennant and will host Game 3 at T-Mobile Park. Polanco, age 32, has produced feats that earned him Iceman comparisons and an alternate nickname, "George Bonds," for his exceptional exit velocities earlier this season.
