In a comical and ironic twist, a 1987 Donruss baseball card of notorious steroid abuser Barry Bonds has surfaced and is being auctioned off on E-bay for $100,000.

While the Mariners have pulled up the rear in the standings more often than not over the last decade, one area where the M's always excel is in their annual batch of promotional commercials. In fact, they are consistently voted tops in the big leagues by fans across the country.
