Seattle Mariners

Recently, MLB Network did a piece on Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez's fans who come to Safeco Field en masse each time he pitches at home. The special section of seats is known as the "King's Court," playing off of Hernandez's nickname "The King" (a moniker he has had since before even breaking into the major leagues.)

Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready will be making another appearance at SafeCo Field in Seattle to perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" when the Mariners take on the Chicago White Sox on August 8th. The Mariners are releasing a special section of tickets that will help raise funds for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America...

The Mariners ace right-hander was selected to start baseball's Mid-Summer Classic by American League manager John Farrell.

Third baseman Kyle Seager will join Robinson Cano and Felix Hernandez at next week's mid summer classic at Target Field in Minneapolis.

The Yakima Valley Pippins have reached an agreement with Yakima native Bob Wells to serve as the pitching coach on Head Coach Marcus McKimmy’s inaugural staff. With the addition of Wells, along with assistant Jacob White, the Pippins 2014 coaching staff is set and preparing for Opening Day on June 6th at Yakima County Stadium.

Earlier this morning, I had the distinct pleasure to get to chat with Ken Griffey, Sr. as he is promoting his new book Big Red: Baseball, Fatherhood and My Life in the Big Red Machine. I asked Senior about his current life in the game of baseball, what made Hall of Fame manager Sparky Anderson so successful, what he remembered most while in attendance at his son's - Ken Griffey, Jr. - induction in

Ken Griffey, Sr. has been a part of more baseball history than almost anyone in the game. From winning two championships with the Big Red Machine to playing Billyball with the Yanks to patrolling the very same outfield with his own son, Ken Griffey Sr. has seen and done it all in professional baseball.

I often hear from friends and family that professional sports are not "important."  That if people cared as much about their communities as a whole as they did about whether or not their team won or lost, the world might be a better place. I say that sports aren't, ultimately, important -- except when they are. If the Mariners win tonight will world peace be achieved?  Of course not. Can

Last night's ceremonial first pitch thrown before the Seattle Mariners v. Anaheim Angels 2014 season opener landed Angels hitting coach Don Baylor on the operating table.

In my house, we refer to Opening Day of a new Major League Baseball season as "New Year's Day." But as a fan of the Seattle Mariners, most of the time the first day of a new campaign is also the last day my team is in first place. Regardless, hope always springs eternal for baseball fans when the games start to count again and the ol’ hickory meets the hide...

Yesterday, an old co-worker of mine treated me to a matinee` at Safeco Field.  While the Mariners took another one on the chin at the hands of the Texas Rangers (12-4), my son Drew and I had a great time. When the game ended, we went to the Seattle Mariners Hall of Fame to go see the newest display and plaque featuring Ken Griffey, Jr.  Junior was inducted into the M's Hall just a couple of weeks

Saturday night, the Seattle Mariners inducted the seventh player into the team's Hall of fame with the inclusion of the iconic player they called, "The Kid," Ken Griffey Junior.
