“Keep fighting, because we’re all rooting for you.” – Ken Griffey Jr, August 6th, 2016
We have had our ups and downs this year Mariner’s fans. Injuries all across the board, new faces showing great potential. We had a horrible start, we have won 9 of the last 10. In the roller coaster that is known as baseball the Mariners have finally made it back to .500. In celebration of opening day part 3, I would like to bring in the great words of the late legendary Seattle announcer, Dave Niehaus.
Someone once said you don’t grip a baseball,
but baseball grips you.
It fills our days,
And brightens our nights.
In the course of the season,
And the span of a life time.
We share hope, drama, and joy.
It brings up all closer together,
Nine innings at a time.
It’s the game we live,
It’s the game we love.
Welcome back baseball,
Welcome back.
– Dave Niehaus
