Three days in Seattle

Love this intro by Ryan Divish at The Seattle Times. It’s an incredible time to be a Mariners fan.

(The Mariners do have the absolute best bobblehead nights, btw.)

For three days, it was about baseball and not bobbleheads.

For three days, the roar returned to a building that hadn’t felt such intensity and emotion since it was still named Safeco Field.

For three days, T-Mobile Park was the place to be in the city of Seattle and the Mariners returned to the forefront of the sports scene — a place they hadn’t been since Edgar Martinez was still smacking baseballs into the right-center gap.

Those three magical days of sold-out games, of meaningful baseball, offered a reminder of all that it once was and an understanding of what it could be again.
