Lou Piniella was enshrined into Seattle Mariners history Saturday night, becoming the eighth member of the club's Hall of Fame after an impressive 10-year run managing the team.
The only thing missing from the festivities at Safeco Field was a bobblehead giveaway in his honor, because the figurine the Mariners were handing out looked nothing like him.

Piniella, who compiled a 840-711 record during his decade-long reign, is the only manager to lead the Mariners to the playoffs. He did so four times between 1993-2002, including an impressive 2001 season that saw Seattle win 116 games.
