Seattle Seahawks fans, also known, simply, as the "12s", have always prided themselves on being one of the most vocal and loyal fan bases in the country and across the entire National Football League.That passion was validated this past weekend during the annual "NFL Honors" ceremony when 89 year-old Patti Hammond, known better to Seahawks fans as "Mama Blue" finished as the runner-up for the league's first-ever "Fan of the Year" award prior to Super Bowl LV (55).
While the playoffs were one-and-done for the most recent incarnation of the Seattle Seahawks, there is still a chance for some postseason accolades for the team, thanks to their fans -- the 12s!
It was 36 years ago today (December 15) that the Seattle Seahawks became the first-ever franchise in professional sports to retire a jersey number in honor of their fan base.

The Seattle Seahawks will honor former owner Paul Allen's contribution, legacy and memory when they induct him into the franchise's Ring of Honor before their nationally televised game Thursday night.
I love Google Earth. It really is so much fun to go to different places in the world and dream you could go there just by the way it looks from Google Earth. Little did I know that the shape of a couple of blocks in our very own neighborhood in Yakima would be a '12' for the 12th Man Seahawks fan!
