Mariner's Game

So, I'm attempting to get caught up on our blogging from this summer. (In all my spare time, which I have so much of now that school has started.)

The next set of pictures we have is from a Mariner's game. When we went to buy 4th of July fireworks, my name was entered into a drawing and we won a set of tickets to the game. So, Sierra and I took the chance to go. We had a lot of fun - especially with those seats!!! We were in the 7th row just past 1st base. There were a couple of foul balls our direction, but nothing that Sierra's mitt could catch.

We also happened to be there on Dave Niehaus day. For those that don't know, Dave Niehaus has been the Mariner's announcer since 1977 and was inducted into the MLB Broadcasting Hall of Fame this summer. They gave out Dave Niehaus bobble-head dolls and did a recognition ceremony where he was introduced by Edgar Martinez. (By the way, I didn't realize how thick of an accent Edgar has. Who knew???) Anyways, it was kinda cool to be there for that.



The game was fun to watch, but nothing overly exciting happened. I still enjoy watching Ichiro.




After the game, the kids were invited onto the field to run the bases. So, we joined the throng of kids walking through the bowels of Safeco and onto the field. It was an experience. It was a fun day.
