Before There Were Mariners: Your interesting, informative articles.

» CChristoffersen - Your interesting, informative articles.

Just a note to let you know what a kick I'm getting out of the Mariners since you tweaked my interest about a month or so ago. Somehow I never envisioned myself as a baseball fan but it only goes to show that you never know what interesting/exciting things go undreamed of outside the perimeter of our everyday lives! Admittedly, going to that game at Safeco field a few weeks ago had an impact. Great fun, excitement thick in the air, and when they opened that dome,,,well, what a fabulous place! But I'm also surprised at how much fun it is to really get to know the team and the players individually, each with their strengths and weaknesses, their almost heroic dimensions and very human personalities. Of course, having a winning, spectacular season like they have had has to be part of the magic...Nevertheless, I'm starting to worry a bit...I may be getting hooked. Keep up the great articles. I need all the perspective and info I can get! Thanks.
