		Olerud burst onto the national scene chasing the.400-mark with the Blue Jays for much of the 1993 season, but his reticent personality, characterized by his ironic clubhouse nickname, Gabby, expedited his fade from mainstream baseball consciousness.

		Olerud moved within 15 minutes of his parents in the city of Starbucks and Microsoft, and signed a three-year, $20 million deal with the M's, where he was reunited with his teammate at Washington State, Aaron Sele.
