| On the Road With the M's |
The Super Bowl is right around the corner. I’ll enjoy it
much more this year because my beloved Seattle Seahawks made it to the big game. I’m an avid
Seahawks fan and these days, I watch far more football than baseball. How can
that be if my roots are in baseball? I spent eight years working with the
Seattle Mariners, on the field and in the clubhouse. I road-tripped with the Mariners
and even served as the batboy for the National League during the Major LeagueBaseball All-Star game.
A shift has occurred over the last decade. Does it have
anything to do with the lack of success of the current Mariner teams? After
all, they haven’t been to the playoffs since 2001. I don’t think that is it, I
still follow the Mariners and get excited each spring. As a comparison, the
Seahawks had some awful teams during the past decade as well and I continued to
watch.
