So, spring training is nearing an end and the MLB season will start soon. My local-ish team, the Seattle Mariners will still probably have many "valuable learning experiences this year". i'm used to that, before 1995 there were tons of "valuable learning experiences". Until 1991 (the Lefebvre Believer years) they never had a better than .500 record. They haven't really been that interesting of a team to me since 2003. Back when i was aging chronologically (not growing up) it was "You've Got to Love These Guys", now it is "Remind Me Again, Why Should i Care". That is fine with me because i am more interested in what their AAA team does.
This got me thinking of "significant" Mariners game that i have been present at. i thought there might have been more, but i can only think of two.
* Ken Griffey Sr and Ken Griffey Jr (first father and son game, 1990). The father was ok, but i never liked Ken Griffey Jr (i always thought he was kind of an arrogant egomaniac).
* Ichiro breaks single season hits record (2004). It was amazing how loud people were whenever Ichiro came up to the plate, everyone was standing up. i went to see my favorite player, Edgar Martinez, play in his last series (in his last at bat, he flew out to the track in left field).
