By Kelly: It only took a little less than a month but I finally made it up to Seattle to see a Mariner’s game. And of course they were playing the California Angels of Anaheim and you know I had to be sitting right next to one of their fans. I don’t mind at all…
In part 2 of my countdown of my 9 favorite MLB games that I have attended I will tell you about two walk-off games that happened in two different stadiums in two different states that had the same score that went extra innings. That’s a lot in common. GAME #6 July 11, 1996 at The…

By Kelly: I have been looking forward to the 2013 Topps Series 1 for a long time. This years design is my favorite since 2009. The card has a white border (which I prefer) and has a baseball diamond outline on the card with the team color. The name of each player is in a…
My wife and I started going to Mariner’s Fan Fest in 2004 before we even had any kids. Now we have 3 daughters Gracie (has been to 8 fan fests), Malia (has been to 5), and Avery (has been to 2). It’s one of our favorite weekends of the year. The reason we started going…
By Kelly: Have you ever given a player a card, photo or magazine to sign and the item wasn’t of that player? I have seen it happen a few times before with other autographers but I never thought it would happen to me. Well it happened to me. I wasn’t to happy about it but…
