The Seattle Mariners are making BIG changes at their home, Safeco Field, this off season.

I'm a HUGE sports fan - especially baseball - and, because of the nature of my household, my 7 year-old son is as well.
When I saw this video of a young St. Louis Cardinals fan's reaction to his team being eliminated from the playoffs, I couldn't help but empathize with the poor kid. Not only because of the age similarity but because I, too, have felt EXACTLY this way (substituting the Seattle Mariners for St. Louis)
17 years ago today, people in the Northwest were reveling in the stunning victory the Seattle Mariners had pulled off against the California Angels less than 24 hours earlier to advance to the playoffs for the first time in their history.
As folks gathered around the water cooler the next morning, attention was quickly shifted when word that the jury seated in the "Trial of the Century" had come to a verdict after a months long trial.
Following his historic perfect game last Wednesday afternoon at Safeco Field in Seattle, Mariners ace "King" Felix Hernandez attempts to become only the second player in baseball history to throw back-to-back no-hitters when the M's face the Cleveland Indians tonight at 7:00 P.M.
Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez has just pitched a perfect game en route to defeating the Tampa Bay Rays by a score of 1-0.
Watch the final strikeout after the jump:
My seven-year-old son Drew and I share father/son time together a number of ways. One of those is watching the television together whenever there's a Mariners game on or watching one of the many episodes of America's Funniest Home Videos we have on the DVR.
I can't wait to show him this clip when I get home...
In the wee hours of Wednesday morning (3:00 A.M. for those of us in Yakima) the National Pastime will get underway halfway around the world when the first pitch of the 2012 Major League Baseball season is tossed out... in Japan!
The Seattle Mariners kick off their season one month from today (or four weeks from tomorrow)! I know I'll be up at 3 a.m. March 28th to watch Felix Hernandez dominate the Oakland A's.
To get you excited (and remind you that not everything that happened last year was awful), here's some highlights from SeattleMariners
