The Grand Salami debuted in mid-1996 to fans outside the Kingdome as a small pamphlet with a few stories on the Mariners and their opponents. By the next Opening Day, it had evolved into a full magazine with expanded coverage and a rudimentary scorecard, and by 1998 the Salami became a glossy-paper, must-have companion for game attendees. Since then it has continued to improve its production value, giving the baseball fans as much bang for their hard earned dollars as possible.
Regular features include player profiles of the Mariners’ roster, interviews with players and other notable Mariner personalities, statistics and analysis for each Mariners opponent, quality photography, and a first-class scorecard to go with news and columns about the current state of baseball and the Mariners. The Grand Salami has featured writing by some of Seattle’s finest sportswriters, including Jim Caple, Rob Neyer, Mike Gastineau, and J. Michael Kenyon.
