Sadly, yesterday the Mariner season came to a close. We have had some wonderful times this year with our favorite baseball team, and lots of fun memories. Just wanted to share a few of our favorites from the 2012 season. Go M's!!!
After Felix's perfect game, we just HAD to get tickets to the next home game in which he was pitching. It was a royal event, with all in attendance getting his special yellow Felix shirts, and K cards. What a sight it was!!!! We were so thankful to be there in a sea of yellow fans. The entire stadium was Felix yellow for one night, and we had an absolute blast. The boys even got up on the big screen, again! We danced and laughed and had a great time watching King Felix.

Sea of Yellow!
Then our wonderful friends the Jensens invited us to go to a game with them a few weeks later. These particular awesome friends have a boss with season tickets RIGHT BEHIND home plate! AMAZING!!! I have been a Mariner fan pretty much my whole life and have NEVER sat so close! I was truly awed and amazed through the entire game. The boys had a ton of fun as well and we were all so thankful to be there.
And of course, we absolutely HAD to go to the last game of the season. We were so excited to have second row seats, though they were out past third base, they were wonderful. The game was an amazing shut out of the Angels, we beat them 12-0. AND we stayed after it was over to see if the boys could meet any of the players! The Mariners didn't seem to be in the fan mood unfortunately, like they were last year, but Michael Saunders and Casper Wells did stay out and sign autographs for quite a while. Casper was such a champ, he was honestly out there for a good 45 minutes after the game ended, signing autographs, taking pictures with fans, and just meeting people who came to cheer for him. What a stand up guy. We were so thankful too, because by the time we got over there, he was the only one left. The field manager kept trying to get him inside so they could usher all of us out of the stadium, but Casper wouldn't leave until he talked with everyone who wanted to see him. The boys waited their turn so patiently, and just before he was about to head into the dugout, he saw them both waiting there for him. He told the field supervisor to wait, came over, and signed both of the hats that the boys had with them. It was so awesome. I am really grateful for him and all of the time he took with all of us. And the boys were ecstatic!! What a neat experience!
Casper Wells home run hit!
The boys were so excited for their signatures!!!
