Seattle sports of all sorts. Former newspaper journalist. Past editor or reporter for coverage of the Huskies, Seahawks, Mariners & even the long-lost Supersonics. Kraken & Sounders on my to-do list. That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by. ✌️

His first start of the season. Seattle has dropped two straight games.
A win would be a nice bonus on a beautiful Sunday in SoDo.

Good morning, Mariners fans
I'm headed to SoDo today. Hopefully, the M's will oblige with a Win.
See you in Seattle. ✌️

⚾ Seattle Mariners — Game 3
Hey, hey the M's scored 2 runs.
Unfortunately the A's scored 4.
Yuck.

⚾ The Seattle Mariners I know and love.
M's have the bases loaded with no outs. They fail to score.
Sounds about right.

⚾ Hey, PNW baseball fans
I took the train from Olympia to Everett a few seasons ago. To cover an AquaSox game.
The train ride was pleasant & convenient. The station is super cool if you're an architecture fan.
Funko Field is a fun minor-league ballpark.
I would recommend both.

John Stanton, part of the Seattle Mariners ownership group, and president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto walk next to each other.

John Stanton & Jerry Dipoto
M's fans. Do you trust these two to lead the ball club to a World Series title? Or, even an appearance?
There are no polls on Bluesky; but feel free to share your thoughts, either way, in the replies. Go M:s.

Houston lost. So, the number went down even though the M's didn't score a damn run on Friday.

Serial killer Ted Bundy wears a Seattle Mariners shirt while representing himself in a Florida courtroom. He wss executed on January 24, 1989.
⚾ The Curse Of Ted Bundy?
The serial killer wore a Mariners shirt while representing himself in a Florida courtroom in 1979.
Seattle is the only MLB franchise to never play in the World Series.
Perhaps, the curse ends this season. M's fans can only hope.

Seattle Mariners broadcaster Dave Niehaus and baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr stand at home plate of what will become Safeco Field (now T-Mobile Park). The Kingdome, imploded 25 years ago this week, stands in the background. Go M's
⚾ Opening Day, The Mariners
I post this gem of a photo every once in awhile.
Seems apropos to share for my 1st sports day on Bluesky.
Dave Niehaus will forever be synonymous with baseball for me.
Ken Griffey Jr. Enough said.
Both Seattle icons.

Downtown Seattle is seen from under the roof at T-Mobile Park, home of the Seattle Mariners. Massive steel girders support the retractable roof. Photo taken from the right-field side of the ballpark.
⚾ Opening Day
Baseball is back, my friends.
So is my coverage of the Seattle Mariners. Just on Bluesky instead of X.
I took a hiatus from sports writing & opted to migrate here.
Opening my account on Opening Day. Perfecto.
📷 My last SoDo visit. The M's were off. The roof was open.
