This was a first for us. Steve invited us to come to the Mariners game because it was the ALS Awareness Day and he would be participating in throwing out the first pitch.
When we got to the stadium we were escorted to the green room. Why they call it the green room I don't know. It was where we waited. It's not green.
A picture of a picture, Ichiro wasn't there.
Ken Griffey JR wasn't there either.
I have wanted to step foot on a major league field for a long time. Well, I got my chance!!
Here we are!!!
I think that thing the struck me the most was how big the field is, especially the outfield. The players have to run a long way to get the ball! They are really good, really good.
On the big screen Lou Gehrig!
Mariners warming up. I didn't bring my regular camera. It has a detachable lens. Not allowed. I could have because no one was checking us for things like that. Who knew!
The Star Spangled Banner was played by Mike McCreedy.
The McCreedy family.
Time for the big event.
These two young people lost their dad to ALS the previous year. They each threw out a picture to the Mariners left fielder.
Sad reason to be there throwing out the first pitch and they did a great job.
This is the view from the suite we had. It seemed far away but we had a birds eye of everything that happened. Mike and I liked the view!
Celebrating!
Celebrating again.
And the Mariners win!!!
The group!!!
