certainly coming emotions far feeling season tie top
Certainly the '95 season was at the top of the list, the emotions day after day. All those things we went through were things you never forget. It was just a feeling of accomplishment, coming back from so far back to tie at the end of the season.

We played in a pretty friendly ballpark. It seemed like somebody hit one or couple of them a few times a game. We were just a team that lived and died by the home run that year.

I can't imagine what these kids have gone through. To see the courage that they have, and being positive through it, and get to the other side. First Place allows them to do that, and that's pretty powerful.
active annie blessed children city decided fans forward great last past playing proud raise remaining seasons seattle spend terrific
I have decided that this will be my last season. I just think it is time. I have been blessed to spend the past 12 seasons here in Seattle, playing with the Mariners and great, great teammates. The fans here have always been terrific to me, and to my family. I'm proud to be a part of the city and Annie and I look forward to remaining in Seattle as we raise our children and remain active in the community.
I'd like to get through one inning. And then we will see how it goes.

One of the reasons we really like to work with chefs is, boy, they do a nice job with the food. They are doing such a fine job of introducing that lamb to a lot of people who may have never eaten it. The consumption of lamb in the U.S. is 1 pound per person per year. If you can get it out there in front of people and they taste it and enjoy it, they will start buying it.

It's always different than when you see them in a drill, but I hear he's doing a great job. I know the game in Japan is a little different than it is here. But what's great about this game is that it's universal. It doesn't matter which side of the ocean you're on, it's the same game.
community help nice
It's just nice to be able to go out in the community and help kids, especially.

It's just nice that they invited me down. It's a chance to see some of the new catchers and young guys and talk to Kenji a little bit. It's been nice.
