During his high school career he was a three-year starter at shortstop. During his senior year at Bethel Mike was SPSL all-state selection where he led the Braves to the WIAA 4A State Tournament. After graduating from Bethel high school Mike went on to start his college career playing baseball at Tacoma Community College for the 1984 and 85 baseball season. Following his freshman year, he was selected by the Mariners in the 1984 Major League Baseball Draft, but opted not to sign. During his junior year at Washington, his only season with the Huskies, he won the triple-crown in the Pac-10 North Division, and was selected by the Montreal Expos in the tenth round of the 1986 MLB Draft - he then transferred to the University of Washington in Seattle. The 6-foot-2 right-hander was primarily a third baseman during his 11-year major-league career (1989-99) with four franchises that included three stints with the Mariners. He had a career year with Seattle in 1995, hitting 23 home runs and driving in 96 runs. Mike made his major league debut with the New York Yankees on September 1, 1989, and played his last game on October 3, 1999 for the Seattle Mariners. He was the 13th player to hit grand slams in consecutive games, which he did on May 16 and 17 of 1993 as a Mariner, and he equaled an American League record by committing four errors in one game at third base as a Yankee in 1990. He hit for the cycle on May 18, 1998 as a member of the Oakland Athletics.
