The new Mariners commercials are here and they will brighten your day

Naturally, just like the Super Bowl, this didn't become a thing overnight. Instead, the Mariners have been killing it year in and year out with ads like Felix Hernandez transforming into "Larry Bernandez," Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro having a heart to heart, and Edgar Martinez teaching the rookies a thing or two. And now, it's a fan's feast of delights.

Mallex Smith got to show off his unbelievable speed:

And Dee Gordon got a pit crew to help him out at third base:

If that's not enough for you, you can even go behind the scenes and watch some bloopers. Everyone loves bloopers.
