Seattle Mariners game, 8/10/25

 

We took a short end-of-summer trip to Seattle to see Alex and D. We lucked into a Mariners game on Sunday afternoon. 

(I say lucked because — I thought I checked before the trip and they were out of town, but apparently I don't know how to read a sports schedule.)

It was a 1:10 first pitch and we got there about an hour early. Seats were up high, but they were pretty good (and they were the Weibel's treat.)

Me and the kids walked the park to check it out. There was a big crowd there! Bub got some Dippin' Dots (7.5, is what he rated them. "It's just ice cream.") Evey nabbed a funnel cake at the end of the game that was delicious.

Highlight of the game for me: Ichiro came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch to Randy Johnson, the Big Unit. That's not something you see everyday! Ichiro just had his jersey retired by the Mariners the previous day. 

The Star Spangled Banner singer was REALLY GOOD too. 

Anyway, we're off to the aquarium and then Pike Place Market today. Then Nine Inch Nails on Tuesday, YEAAAHHHH!!!
