Seattle Mariners Lou Gehrig ALS Day! A trip to Seattle to see Rivers throw out the first pitch, representing Steve.

I did this for my daughters. I sent them this picture. I took a picture like this in the past every time I went to a Mariners game. My picture by the giant player mural. My daughters did this same thing when I was in the hospital at Harborview Medical Center back in 2012. They took a break from being at the hospital! I have the pictures they took.
On the field before the game. Mike, Rivers, me and Steve.
It was really amazing getting to watch batting practice on the field. Up close and personal.
Just waiting for the first pitch.
Mike is sporting his Wisconsin gear in support of Ryland's future college. Not one person asked why Mike was wearing a Wisconsin shirt.
Warming up for the first pitch!
Here we go!
Bryan Woo, the pitcher that caught River's pitch.
Family and caregivers!! Oh, and the Mariner moose.
Rivers did an interview after the game. He did a great job.
Even though the suite we stayed in was on an upper level, we had a great view of the game.
Out of order but here are some additional pictures of the event.
This was a great night. So fun to spend time with the NOLA Gleason's, at least part of them. It is quite an experience being on the field for the first pitch. Team Gleason has done so much for ALS. Steve's foundation has helped so many people with ALS in many, many ways!
