SEATTLE — In the players lounge of the Mariners clubhouse, which rarely gets used for anything other than pregame meetings, a small library, which is used even less, if at all, was installed featuring a collection of books mostly about motivation, self-help, leadership and improvement.
Many of them favorite to mandatory reading of the Mariners leadership — front office and field staff — and the talking points and vocabulary permeate the organization.
You hear them daily: process, preparation, effort, journey.
