Opening Day

Mariners finally started their season today

They lost 5-4 to the Cleveland Guardians, but maybe we’ll win tomorrow.

It was fun to see a lot of folks that we usually see at the ballpark. Our seatmates, workers, vendors, and even the players. Plus we had a group of 44 sitting a few rows behind us, plus a few of my ex-coworkers stopped by before the game got started.

They had the Mwango Sisters, a trio of local teens, sing the anthem. (They sang several times last year at the end of the season,  sort of a good luck charm.) They did a great job and got all the lyrics right, unlike a singer I saw for a different game on TV. And there was a flyover of one of the heavy transport aircraft. It did a low turn right over the stadium. I thought it was rather spectacular.

The game started late, so I’ll leave with this group picture.

    I don’t like starting out with a loss, but there are so many games in the baseball season that one won’t hurt. Hoping for another strong season for the Ms.

      Starting with a win would have been great. But the Guardians are a good team too. We’re going to the game today, and through Monday, but I get Saturday off so a seatmate can use my ticket for a cousin or nephew. I’m OK with that. Because it is a long season.
