As a dedicated Mariners fan, this Seinfeld moment always hits home.

Two panels from the TV show Seinfeld show Frank Costanza and his wife, Estelle, reacting to a baseball trade. In the top panel, Frank is animatedly complaining about trading a player named Jay Buhner, citing his 30 home runs and 100 RBIs. In the bottom panel, Frank is now sitting calmly while Estelle looks on, and a third person's hand gestures toward them. The overlaid text is a dialogue from the show where Frank criticizes a baseball trade, and Steinbrenner responds by saying he loved Ken Phelps' bat, even though Phelps was a terrible player, and that his baseball people kept saying 'Ken Phelps, Ken Phelps.'
