The 1982 Seattle Mariners season was their sixth since the franchise creation, and the team finished fourth in the American League West with a record of 76–86 (.469).
During their first decade, this was the Mariners' best season, their best previous total was 67 wins in 1979.[1] Slightly past the season's midpoint on July 8, their record was 45–38 (.542), just three games behind division-leading Kansas City.[2][3] Seattle was at .500 (59–59) on August 17, but then dropped seven straight,[4] and closed the season at home with six consecutive losses.[5]
Home attendance at the Kingdome was 1.07 million, twelfth in the league; it was the first time over a million in five years, since the debut season of 1977.
This was Rene Lachemann's only full year as manager with Seattle; previously the manager at its Class AAA affiliate in Spokane. He took over the major league club in early May 1981, initially on an interim basis, succeeding Maury Wills.[6][7] Lachemann signed a three-year contract in October 1981,[7][8] and another during the season in 1982, then was relieved of his duties in late June 1983.[9][10]
